I would assume they are standard being the fact the little huffer is still fitted but If there was a visual indicator it would obviously save me allot of money!

Stopped after about 10 seconds (cold start up) and didn't present again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask as I'm sure a mates FG did this when he had his valve springs done and it was gone after 5 mins though and from memory it was loud, allot louder than injectors for instance...

There was a small rattle on cold start that went for less than a second. I thought it was lifters but it doesn't seem to do that anymore so I assume that's what that sound was.Edit: Bomber, how many Kms are on your engine and has it been rebuild before? It looks ridiculously clean Edited 04/09/14 03:05 AM by timwds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
