Well that didn't last long!

[And@fcm]

ps there are no shims that go in the lifters or under the springs as the evo head uses hydraulic lifters, unless you've replaced with solid lifters

Hope you get it sorted

There is shims to go the under valve springs, even stock heads have them!
These are required to achieve correct spring seat pressure.
Many aftermarket springs (Cheap ones) need shims.

Fight fight fight
Ahahaha

As And days. Fitting shims on hydraulic lifters would be pointless as they would just compress to accommodate the shim.
Your better of fitting solid lifters and using shims to gap. Or better still fitting custom rockers to allow higher lift cams....

I guess the moral is not to fit cheap s**t

It depends on a lot of elements. Many people don't have facilities or the know how when testing valve spring seat pressure

 

[Simon@NTS]

Valve spring seats, these can be shimmed up to get the correct valve spring pressure

Still waiting to find out but jack @ autotorque said on delivery he thinks its sounds like the bottom end, maybe small ends? hopefully not only time will tell!

Headache for Gooner!!!! am i missing something or what???

Is this a brand new engine build coz if it is and it was my car the only person having a headache would be the guy's that built it and no bloody way would i arrange/pay for somebody to collect it and take it back:arms:

Sorry fella if i have spoken out of turn but this really Jog's me off:shock:

 

[gooner8]

Full rebuild but I supplied the pistons rods crank and camshafts as long as its none of them that has failed im covered.

 

[fq-craigus]

Small ends.......... Ok
I'm surprised they know what a bottom end knock is, they had my car a month and gave it back to me none the wiser. Hope it gets sorted mate, this soon after a build it should only be the inconvenience for you as they should be covering any damage tbh so

Bump for Vinny
