Just reading back through the posts , when it was running did you try it with fan belt removed to isolate any bearing probs on water pump / alternator , loose pulley wheels 🙁

if anything should be anti friction like teflon but not seen any online. (will have a google) i can see EW on them whats on other side

The knock was there when the rocker assembly was removed, right?

Oh, photos of the"stuff". I don't think there should be any. Everything should be immaculate. I use brake cleaner and an air line to clean everything after washing in kero.

this is the worn rocker i replaced with new on mine but didn't make any real noise, maybe time to check the valve springs make sure they not broke and sit at correct height as in manual. guess youre quite sure you have adjusted each rocker to...

thanks for the extensive reply. i could not lift the tappets with the pushrod. none stuck. though; i havent properly tried either. Some tappets did lift the roller alongside with them. about the tappets themselves. there appears to be some...

I'm just wondering people's thoughts... I'm contemplating a new thread. Now just humour me for a minute and hear me out. I'd love to have your thoughts on this idea as I think it would really help us all in complying with the OP's request. New...

Cheers thanks mate 👍

I will probably get my local landy garage to chuck the new bags in as i need the car for a trip in the coming weeks. Thank you anyway.

I too forgot to ignore this today. Assuming it's not too late, I shall do so now.

Very kind offer. Seems too much to ask really as it doesn't look easy! Couple of pics of the offending area...

I forgot to ignore today, so doing it now.

Me too I won't be looking either 🫣🙂

once you get started there's no stopping you! the rollers look good from what i can see , should all be highly polished with no flat spots, those tappet slides should be clean brass all over not covered in black deposits, did they move ok in the...

Hi, can you put a picture up of what you need ? There's a indie place near me that is scrapping a shell (chassis rotten so they used the TD5 eng. for a defender conversion )🙄. I was going to rob a few bits off it myself so can have a look/post...

It's the weekend. Maximum ignore mode activated

Thanks but out of interest if it was a leak wouldn’t it leak all the time regardless of when the heating is on. As it drove 100+ miles last weekend heating on full blast to pull heat away from the engine and no coolant loss as a result. Sadly I...

All, another slight update on my “drill testing” method. i want to illustrate how i do this, and how i have now isolated what i think is a root cause of the problem. 1. insert tapped guide, push wheel and tapped in designated hole. fit grub...

You haven't witnessed my driving 😀 Fair point. Will try them as I think I glazed mine due to calipers being sticky when I got the car.

Id love to hear how this plan works out too

Well I, for one, would like to hear how this experiment goes.

All, i couldnt stand that i didnt inspect the tappets. so i raced to the garage and pulled the head. before doing this i took off the oil pump and tested the drill method again. no considerable difference. as well as the oul skew gear. please...

Hot start fix should bring the glow plugs on every time.

You’ll need to contact the DVLA (or your local vehicle authority) directly. They may be able to help you register it using the chassis number or the vehicle’s registration number. Since the VIN plate is missing, they might offer an inspection or...

Could be loss of sync from RF interference?
