Autech GTi

just to add, raceworx had 3" pipework done at phils, he was running daiyama coil overs on there lowest setting and it didnt catch anything
 
Just taken my mate Dan out in it and he reckons even from the passenger seat it feels loads better :)
 
Started out yesterday with the intention of changing the lifters :roll: as whatever the noise is has gotten worse the last few days..

Removed the rocker cover and as I was pulling it away one of the metal washers that sits under the rocker bolts decided to ruin my afternoon... it ventured down the timing chain side of the engine :rasp:

Commence swearing and crawling on the floor hoping it had fallen down there............ no joy

I turned the engine, via the crank pulley only to hear a very feint 'clink' so I new it was in there :(

So.. Sump off, which probably took the longest, the standard nissan sealant is like concrete, got there in the end though.

I was surprised at just how much oil is left in the bottom of the sump even when its been left to drain for 45 mins..... so now all the gunk is out of the bottom ready for some fresh clean oil :)

Cleaned all the goo off the bottom of the engine and the pan, found a bit of metal in the Pickup resealed the sump pan and left it over night, so will try and do the lifters today now :lol:

When Ive removed my sump plug (magnetic) there has been like a coating of metal, fine enough to make your finger silver.. normal or am I chewing a bearing slowly...?

but My old man has given me the GTi now, so I wont be carless :thumb:

Need to change the chain tensioner too will be ordering that tomorrow morning.
 
Bloody unlucky with that washer eh:roll:

Are those the beefier roller rocker lifters then?

Fingers crossed the engine is healthy now.
