There aren't any.I reckon there is a fair chance it might be an exhaust leak though.If it's more pronounced under acceleration, it'd be worth checking all the exhaust/turbo gaskets and the dump pipe gaskets.

They have hydraulic valve lash adjuster (HLVA's if you ask ford) They "follow" the cam and "lift" the rocker, oh and they adjust to maintan valve lash. They are very cute, about the size of a AA batter only 3/4's the length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
