[Edited on 26/12/06 by madteg]

they can take a while to stop rattling on first run up

If they are anything like the old Ford twin cam 8 vavle they can take anything up to 4 hours (or longer) running at 2000rpm.

Hi,

Make sure you are using ONLY the correct 5W30 oil. Other grades don't allow the tappets to work correctly.

I've cured all sorts of missfires and noises on customers cars with these engines by just changing the oil!!

when i fitted new cams and follower it took about 15 mins before they went quiet.once the engine was up to temp road tested and all fine since
