Third time lucky

Post by pureorange »

why, why, why. My problem is -after an engine rebuild on my 2lt cu I was gutted that the bus ran like a bag of nails.Plenty of power but as noisy as hell .Out with the engine and investigate. Everything looked spot on but the hydraulic lifters looked as if they had covered 50K. So,flat the lifters down on fine glass paper and reassemble. Up to Steve at gasure for a tune up , he says the clatter on acceleration is cam rattle. Why ,after new cam and lifters (TES) is it so noisy . Due to drop the engine for the third time to investigate. Could it be a duff cam . Has anyone else had any such cam / lifter problems.
