Well it could be rod bearing / crank but that is the bottom and you said top of engine. The bucket sits between the top of the valve and the lobe of the cam. Best to let a pro have a listen as the above are just a few informed guestimates.

Cam or bucket possibly.

Only had the Vortis on for a couple of weeks so just scrubbed in and put a few heat cycles in them. So far so good on track but not tried them in the wet yet. Just ran air as Nitrogen is not true Nitrogen as got to much water vapour in it for my liking. Ran them at 34 instead of 29psi. which fixed the roll. Was a bit concerned with the 99Y on the front but all good. To early to write a review however initial findings are encouraging. And at £640.00 well worth a trial. Alex.

I run Vorti R: 265 35 20 99 Y XL and 305 30 20 103Y XL Also run MPSS: 275 35 20 102Y XL and 305 30 20 103Y XL

to the forum from sunny Perth, just up the road from you.

I find it best to remove bumper, front panel, rads and fans. A few extra hours work, however much easier when re-timing the engine.

I would be more concerned with the oil light issue to be perfectly honest. The missfire would require further informed diagnoses, however without that I would start with the plugs or coil packs. Alex.

Loads of 97 up here

GLWTS.

If you had a major crack, then I think that you would know about it. A wet compression test is simply a way of getting an indication if you have oil ring issues. Just drop equal amounts of oil down each bore and carry out a compression test and compare your dry and wet readings. It is not conclusive but will give you an indication.

Not a good idea mate.

A dry compression test will not give you any indication of wear relating to oil consumption or smoke emissions.

If you are still having issues then just give me a shout as I am just down the road in Perth. Wont take minutes to check out the pads and get a dial out gauge on your discs to establish exactly what your issue is. Edit : and of course as Marcus has pointed out wheels and hubs etc require an inspection as well to get to the root cause. Alex,

Nice one Andy

Once you have adjusted them to what suits, you probably will never adjust them again.

Talk to Bilstein, who work closely with Eibach.

If you are referring to me then you have just burnt your bridges.

DE valve stem oil seals are in stock and good to go same/next day. You will also require head gaskets which are also in stock as well as a few other bits and bobs. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex.
