DDF has always had noisy cam followers - the unmistakable tapping sound that comes and goes, almost musical in it's own way.
Tom fitted cam and followers , new timing chain.
Rocker shafts were badly worn so he swapped them for a less worn pair.
Oil pressure is good with the uprated pump fitted but there is still a noise when the engine is hot.
He removed the sump to investigate further and found that the oil pickup was filthy - he's cleaned all this up and called it a day because one of the exhaust studs snapped.
If the engine still has a top end rattle that comes and goes, what could be the problem?
All of the below is now new in this car.
