Engine builds analysis Brisbane
digadam:
Right. I go to one mechanic last year who does a bunch of work for me and says I need headers replaced due to tapping noise.
I go to another place who says old headers are ugly but fine - noise likely to be engine related. Could be cam. Could be skirted piston. Says book in for quote.
Who do I trust?
Second guy seems super honest. JP racing. Anyone used or heard of him.
If not who do I go to?
Going to the exhaust shops is no good cause they all wanna sell you a system. I just wanna go to ONE place which is super recommended or reliable.
GLENN 70:
Sounds like a cam or lifter problem . Windsors do break piston skirts so could be the problem . So go for the quote from the 2 nd guy .
digadam:
Thanks Glenn. Will do. Mine's a Cleveland but good advice.
LEE H 69:
if your exhaust manifold gasket is leaking that can also cause a tapping/ticking noise
GLENN 70:
As Lee said also . It could still be a lifter problem ? Clevos have non adjustable rocker gear ,so no rocker adjustment can be done unless it's a HO solid set up . Check for exhaust manifold or extractor leak .
