I've heard your motor (before it was your motor) and yeah, its tappets. Fortunately for you, its a GR donk, so its got the hydraulic tappets - aka drop in & forget.Kustom_FTO wrote:How big of a job is it to do the Lifters?
I have a feeling that its my lifters making my nosie and not so much tappets (probably tappets too but ontop of that, lifters)
At the moment, Meek Automotive have a cracking deal on the hydraulics here: http://www.meek.com.au/index.php?act=vi ... ductId=112
I'd do a full set of 24 swapped out for 2 cases of beer & a bottle of Beam.

Standard alcohol fees + coke & hookers = interstate Bennoz fees!

Then again, after a bag of coke, I'd be like pushing rope, so could go on for hours without result

Re: Got my car back from repair
That are open Saturdays.
Have you checked around the sump plug and oil filter?
Oil leaks can be a bitch to find some times, you may have had more than one.
Just see what they say when you go back down.
Let me know when you go and I will try to get down there.

Re: Got my car back from repair
For 2k any reasonable mechanic should have been able to fix a fkn leak. Take it back man, dont be mad yet but be very firm and see what they say.

Re: Got my car back from repair
cause they did a diagnose on the leak, washed it down an run the car etc etc to find the leak, they changed the engine oil and filter again, so i doubt its the oil filter, and its leaking the same place.
Aza - they open on sat? last week they told me they close on weekends -_-, hmmm, when are u free to go down with me? im pretty sure i will need to call and book a time for check again, so if you let me know what time your avaliable, ill book that time, and is mon or tues better for u?

Re: Got my car back from repair
Week days are up in the air for me as I never know what time I will finish work.
I will check in tomorrow to see if they are open and let you know. They may have just been closed for the one weekend.

Re: Got my car back from repair
Ok just got back from pulse racing, lift the car up, checked it, he said its probably the head gasket now, and he showed me, looks like theres oil around the heads, T.T seriously, if it was really the head, as if they couldnt see it from the start? it wouldnt be a small leak if its from the head gasket rite?
