04 STI, Do I have to take engine out to check shims and gaps?
Hi,
Ive got a ticking/taping noise on my engine.
Do I have to take engine out in order to take the head off? I want to check the gaps with a feeler gauge?
John
ASAP Please, waiting now. hehe

Hi Merlin, thanks for the reply.
The valve clearances are all OK, I now want to check the tightening torque of the cam shaft caps. What should this be?
Thanks!

A failed big end can sound a bit like a noisy follower to the un-trained ear, for what it would take to do I would drop the oil into a clean container and try and strain it through a clean cloth, if it is big end/crank you will get evidence in the oil- copper debis.

Drained oil through a paper filter, perfect colour, no particles or bits in the oil. Clean!
Any more idea's
Engine should be out in the morning.
