The knock is back!
Discussion
So after having the v8 developments cam kit installed everything was all running peachy. I'm now 600 miles in and the knock has returned. It strange as it is not there all of the time. When I start the engine the knock starts once it hits about 50 degrees, it tends to go once the engine is around 85 degrees (indicated)
Now today from a cold start (after 10 days of being in my garage) the knock was nowhere to be seen, happy days eh. That was a 12 mile run. After three hours of standing I make my way home, no tick again on warm up at all. The engine seems to be sitting at around 85 degrees the. After a 7 mile run down the a50 it drops to 70 degrees and the knock returns!
It really sounds like a sticky lifter again, but this should not be so really?! any ideas gents?
I have noticed the the engine temperature seems to be all over the place, I know that's how they all are really but it seems to be worse of recent. Could it be new thermostat time?
