Number 3 was still tap tap, but that's the one that always seems to be the drain down culprit. Compression on that one was down pre adjustment yesterday too, but didn't have time to do another test today. Will do one next week and just see how we get on from here. Can't afford a new engone at the mo...

All done.

Purrrrr

Okey dokey. Thanks again guys.

It's all a little nerve racking trying to tackle new things on a van. Never 100% you've done it right and any potential damage that may ensue.

Another quick question before I start. Do you have to drop the oil before adjustment or can it be done without draining?

Thanks

Rightio. I'll give it another go in the morning.

Thanks Sarran. Adjusted them all from TDC but what do you mean make sure pushrod us engaging properly. I undid the screws fully and them screwed them back in until touching, then 1.5 from there. Should the arms that they are in be touching too when the screw is out or have the slight gap I mentioned...

Anyway the...

As far as you know, what?

Thanks again

Rightio, thanks.

BTW, what does AFAIK mean?

Quickie. Old heavey hands here snapped the breather tank valve and pulled the attached hose off yesterday. Going to order a new vale and grommit from Brickwerks but not sure what the other end of the hose goes to. In the Haynes diagram it looks like it doesn't actually attach to anything, is this ri...

Merci

Don't know if this is the right forum for this, but here goes. Removed the breather tank on the passenger side today to check condition of wheel arch and treat then dinitrol. Went to refit it it, but can I? Can I buggery. It just wont sit back in the hollow and slip over the bolt. Snapped the bloody...

Yeah. Somewhat fishy

Defo oil and not brake fluid or leaking shock?

Think there are a few people on here who have done that and swapped the injection for a pierburg carb. Good luck.
