Took the V8 out for a run recently and it sounded like I had left a bag of spanners under the bonnet. Turned around as soon as I could and went home slowly.
It sounds like one of the Rhoads lifters has failed and is not pumping up. No probs I thought, I will identify which one and replace it. Err no, can't do that. Not good practice to put new followers on an old cam or visa versa. So I either take the lifter out and try and fix it, or buy a new cam and new lifters at a cost circa £400!
And I need to have it all done before Stonleigh so I can give it a few test runs beforehand.
