hi
i've got 1 follower/tappet that is just started rattling/tapping it stops after about 2-3 mins but how harder job is it to do does head need to come off? or can it be done in situ,if in situ how hard do i need little hands or not any specialist tools? any advise would be helpful

cheers

Heads don't need to come off, but I undertand the cams need to come off to allow access to the shims. Speak to FB as he measured my gaps.

 

Cheers mate do u know if the engine needs to come out?

 

im pretty sure can be done in situ just very tight

 

Spot-on, I had the cam oil seals and several other bits done with the engine still in situ - juts very tight. You'll need to take out the battery, airbox and washer bottle to give you access.

 

cheers it sounds like a wonderful job

Rather you than me, but it's only a matter time until I strip all those bits out just to change the plugs
