simes Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi all, This started in another topic `Do injectors rattle?`. (don`t know how to link it, sorry) I checked the vacuum pump & changed the lift pump (cus I had one), Checked & adjusted the tappets & it still rattles. I think it could be a cam follower now. Is there anything to rattle in a follower? Does it need urgent attention? We go on holiday the end of next week pulling a caravan & 3 canoes on the roof down to Devon from Wolverhampton, should I rip it apart or leave it? HELP, simes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 to get to the cam followers it's a cylinder head off & camshaft out job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Head off yes, camshaft out no. I have known one break the bronze tappet - the rollers don't wear much at all. And I think the tappet was possibly broken when a cambelt broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
