Back in the shop

[GQ snail]

bottom end pulled off and all bearings reported to be in A1 condition. Now saying "yep it the tappets that need replacing" sure this is what I said when I took it in, jesus. Now going to set me back 1500 bucks due to work done today and to have them fixed. So annoying this rubbish.

You meant the rocker arm? Could be but my rocker arm on the old engine were in pretty bad condition, badly scored on the face where they in touch with the valve but it didn't produce any ticking sound.

Hope you found the problem soon..

Nothing worse then piss poor mechanics playing the guessing game at the customers expense.

So the lifters have not been replaced like the mech wanted to, I got him to do a oil pressure check with a master gauge, turns out the snail running zero pressure, this would make any hydrolic lifter tick, so new oil pump ordered and install happening tomorrow. Fingers crossed this is the final chapter and I will be back on the trails this weekend.

Find a new mechanic this guy sounds like a joke

Hope you're not paying for his thinking time?

I think the ticking is coming from a rock in your tyre lets just replace them all and see if it works.
I recall your other thread asking you about the oil pressure and you responded.

Yeah engine has had really good run. Oil pressure is spot on.

Are you sure your mechanic put the oil pickup back in when the done the big ends lol
