Hi AC, you've been giving me advice on testing my system to see what i actually have. Turns out its okay and you suggested a tune. Im in the Bradford area. Do you do any of your visits anywhere near to me? Cheers.
The engine at 6:02 seems to ‘tap’ more louder and prominent than the others. What would cause this other than wrongly adjusted tappets? I have the same noise, like tappets but noise is more prominent. Tappets are all adjusted correctly .
Firstly most people who say to me they have adjusted the clearances and they are right, intimate usually not correct. If they are correct, and everything is standard, then you have wear in the system which needs to be removed. This could be pitted followers, excess wear in the rocker shaft, and bushings, and incorrect rocker pad geometry. Using modern cams with higher acceleration rates can also add to the noise.
To me, the SW8 would be my choice for a really fast weekend warrior. Do you enjoy it? As I drive my Mini daily I currently stick to one better suited for my application.
Thanks again, went the long way back home as Kieran didnt want to stop driving it. Awesome work
Glad to hear you can enjoy your car to the fullest now!
Great to meet you at the weekend Adrian .😊
And you.

@@ACDodd I’m running a swiftune sw8 cam and med 1:3 roller rockers.
@@63MIJ63ah ha, you are using a cam which has faster acceleration rates together with increased rocker ratio. This will make more noise. Its normal.
@@ACDodd thanks for help
