[QUOTE="greg burt, post: 5569, member: 203"] [b]cams[/b] Stuart A few questions if I may. 1 What oil(Brand) were you running before you changed to (Procycle oil) ? 2 How many miles has this Procycle oil been in use ? 3 You would have changed the oil and filter at least 7 times in 4000 mls ( the oil would have to be metallic if the wear started 4000 mls ago)? 4 How many times have you adjusted the tappets ?(Looking at your photos you would have been chasing the tappet adjustment from the start) 5 one of your recent threads stated you had a pushrod stuck in a follower and did you have the timing cover off to rectify this problem ?( If so you would have seen the Problem occuring ) 6 I "presume" the cams in question are Mk3s ?(Not high Lift) 7 Looking at your photos, I get the impression the cams are Blue from Heat ? Look forward to hearing from you. Greg [/QUOTE]
