marv Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 What's wrong with the engine? I feel your pain lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 It's a very odd one. Thing is @marv, there's not actually anything wrong with it!! It ran sweet before but it runs absolutely perfectly now after the adjustments. There is just a very odd 'rattle' coming from somewhere, of which the sound seems to change where it's coming originating! Can't be valve train related, that's all been checked and cleared. No excessive wear anywhere. The only thing it could possibly be in the head is an lma. But it's not that kind of sound and doesn't follow increase or decrease in revs. It's not the end of the cam where the dizzy sits. No play in there. Which leads me to suspect the dizzy again, but I bought a new one and it was still there! Lol. So next port of call is, Mr @Honda Paul is going to be kind enough to let me stick his dizzy on, just encase the one I bought was dodgy. Then an oil change from 5w30 fully back to 10w40 semi. Think we'll go castrol magnetic. The. Go from there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I think the oil is a good call, current stuff may be too thin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
