If anyone's still out there... So... an update! finally After so many issues, problems and poor time keepers, this week I've had my mini running for the first time in nearly 2 years! Obviously this should be a video... just imaging an engine noise okay! first run went smoothly with no issues at all, idled well, kept perfect oil pressure and only leaks very slightly, however, there was quite a loud tapping from the rockers... more so than normal. Once it had run for enough time to bed the cam in I took the rocker cover off and re tightened the head as well as double checking all the valve clearances, few out. Ran again, still this horrible tapping noise. I had some idea what it could be so whipped the rocker cover off. Two of the rockers had marks on the back which matched marks on the inside of the cover. This is due to the machine work i've had done... apparently. Took a grindstone to it and problem solved! doesn't need to be perfect as it's unseen, no noise at all now, better than the original engine! ;D All I've done is grind down to parts where the cover is slightly thicker, it's not for any specific reason, just how its cast. Only thing left to test is the clutch... but I'm tired... so that's tomorrows job. exciteddd ;D
