It's a later one with hydraulic tappets. Trouble is the tappets are super noisy! Well I think it may be just 1 or 2 tappets that are making the noise
Tried changing the tappets and the problem got WORSE!
So I'm taking the engine out as I've got a 7A engine to go in. May make a good donor engine for someone?
It's done 121k so not too high on the miles. Apart from the tappets it runs well. Usual cold start issue (partially cured by disconnecting the cold start valve. So I suspect the injectors are leaking.)
Any interest? Perhaps you'll change your mind when you hear it running!
