new engine shot, part 2.
Range Rover Blues:
Acording to RPI a tapping follower is a sign of a worn camshaft, fitting new followers won't help (I've done this myself and it doesn't). One of the first signs of camshaft wear is bad fuel economy.
That said RPI have stopped using **itpart followers because so many have been returned :-.
Otherwise as sadi, sticky/bent valve or rocker.
Big screwdriver/ear might tell you which side is tapping, or if it's coming from the middle.
burgerman:
oil pressure problem ?? Would be higher when cold, then as it warms up it would drop,- causing the tappets to rattle
Not trying to doom and gloom :( just throwing ideas in :-k
I know the oil pressure relief valves can stick, ( mark evans one did on a 4x4 is born )
Guardian.:
it sound like just a t,t,t,t,t,t,t,t,t,t, and probably just 1 of whatever it is as it isnt clattery, just a single t,t,t,t,t,t.
bearing in mind this is a new engine oil pressure should be good, but after saying that so should be whats tapping.
its just really annoying as it is running as sweet as a nut, as good as a v8 could ever run, but as said, after about a miniute it starts, and it sounds like and old dog just due to a loud tap.
Range Rover Blues:
Worn camshaft.
Guardian.:
