Rover 3500 V8 cam choice?
Discussion
Thanks for the advice guys!
Church, i will try to post some pics up but it is a mess.
Can any one advice on how to best cure some noisy lifters? I rather stupidly ran the engine with no oil pressure (changed disi and failed to notice the new one had no oil pump drive shaft on it). It didn't run for long but it now makes a hell of a racket.
I have been advised to change the oil and to mix in an additive.
Some one else has advised to pour a litre of automatic transmission oil or diesel into the engine and then run it for a bit. Apparently this should clean everything prior to the oil change. I have heard mixed things about oil additives and can't find anything at all about diesel (other than how to clean red diesel with used engine oil).
Is it wishful thinking believing an oil change with or with out additive or diesel will cure the problem?
Thanks,
Jack
