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 see results of taking out the tappets below. im...

Will do. More tomorrow since I dont think I will have the time of day to fix it today. well isnt that true! Biggest ive had in a while xD No problems for the updates, I spent ages looking for similar knock questionaires and all found that theyre poorly structured and not relevant anymore. If i...

lift pump is out! i havent checked it with the drill with it in. That might be worth a shot to rule out that wasnt in the wrong way to begin with. I think head removal is imminent, i need to redo all the gaskets anyways at this point. Im glad I can move fast and pulled everything out quickly. I...

Sorry i shouldve mentioned, i took out the fuel pump! So that leaves us with: Oil pump Skew gear Dizzy Rollers Followers Push rods. ill check on the rollers. i have the engine pulled so i can easily see now. Specific signs i should look for? Or the "usual" wear patterns will also show on the...

there is a little bit of side to side play in the conrod on the crank. but nothing in the Z direction (up and down). theyre just solid in there and i cant get them to tick or wiggle.

update: put the dizzy back in and took the timing chain off aswell as the rocker arm assembly. put a drill on the bolt of the timing wheel and “dampened” the pushrods with my arm. after getting up to a certain rpm; i hear the knock. i dont hear it down in low rpms. but i do when i revv the drill...

update: the little pusher/insert slotted bit in the dizzy slot seems to make a really recognizable sound…

i pulled them all when i was refitting the engine. they didnt look too bad but i will pull them again

i pulled the engine and con rod ends look a little worn; but thats fine. nothing insanely crazy. didnt pull mains yet, but i feel like that doesnt have priority rn.

ok definately seems to be the camshaft, ticks are lining up with the exhaust rocker of cil 3 edit: typed crankshaft instead of camshaft.

no improvement when adjusting the valve lash. i guess all that remains is pulling it again and inspecting the crankshaft and its bearings.

not the exhaust. dismantled it and listened to the engine with a sthetoscope. still a tick. indeed does seem to come from the camshaft side of things. also indeed does seem to allign with the valves opening/closing. going to set the valve lash again now. after that im a little out of ideas...

yes, i suspect it might be exhaust manifold… since i saw im missing a bolt on the fourth cillinder. AND i dont get the knock when i turn it over on the starter. ruling out a collision between the valves and the pistons more info tonight, when i can work on it

weird though, since i redid all of them

yep agree

input shaft of the gearbox is always turning no…? i thought maybe its something there. dizzy and cam gear what should i look for when inspecting those exactly? valves should be set correctly. yes oil coming through the rocker shaft and ive always had excellent pressure as well.

xD its a bit of a train rn yes

All, i rebuilt this engine and paired it up to my gearbox. however, im hearing a knock. All bearings in the engine are new and have maybe max 5 minutes of runtime on them. I did feel/seem to have a slight gearbox knock from before when i put this engine in. this leads me more towards it being a...

Hi all quick question, What are the sizes of the following: Nuts to mount the gearbox to the engine? The two top bolts which mount the flywheel housing to the engine? Running a late 2a petrol. thanks in advance!

i will, yes engine turns by hand. Has a heck of a compression though. But nothing weird i presume. Has ran shortly with a fully charged battery and when it just "caught", if you get what i mean. Still turned slow, just happened to fire up. Makes me think there is nothing wrong with the engine per se
