[The Matt]

Oooh, gutted Bungle!

Fapping nice time to get a repair bill in for that too

Hope you get it sorted soon mate

[Bungle]

soon yes, he said it would be ready on Monday

i asked if he could work slower as i need to save up to pay for it

[buddylove]

lol, how much hp are you shooting for with the new motor?

[Bungle]

i didn't ask

i asked for a nice drivable motor with lots of torque and good MPG

[buddylove]

Should be fun either way

[Bungle]

engines back



and some of the bad bit's



Drop gears with no teeth

cam follower with a big grove

cam lobe worn flat



anyone know how this sort of damage happens ?

the engine has only done 40k miles with a oil change every 3k or less

[GraemeC]

It's done well to run with no noticable problems with a follower and lobe like that!! Can't have been much adjustment on the rockers left.
My initial guess would be valve that has been very tight in its guide (possibly only whilst hot) thereby putting a lot of strain on that rocker/pushrod/follower/cam lobe.

Bungle. 1.5 rockers by any chance?
