Oil sounds okay to me.

As for ticking injectors - turn the stereo up!

as for the oil i maybe put a bit to much in . wierd on the dipstick it come to the full marker. on the other side of the dripsticks it goes over the full markers

let me explaint Where its got F and L ive got it to the F at the moment. when i look at the other side its a little over well wierd. different heights either side... should i just look on the side with F and L on ?????. Which the oil is set to the Full level???????

Do the Injectors tick from the left and rights where both sides of the spark plugs meet the engine???? . That where its sounds like its ticking????

Cheers

Dave - I have the same prob trying to get an accurate reading. I have found that it's best to remove the dipstick for say 15 mins and I think this allows any oil to run back down into the engine so you should get a consistent reading on both sides of the dipstick !!

How many miles has the engine done since the rebuild?

Is there such thing as castrol 10w-40 fully synthetic?

Last time I looked Castrol only did 10w-40 in semi-synthetic or Mineral only(magnatec or GTX) and 0w-40 was full synthetic (RS/Edge Sport) well, a hydrocracked mineral IIRC.

Castrol are very naughty when they put "Synthetic Engineering" on their containers of semi-sythetic oils.

No real worries if it is semi, as that what Subaru use on standard engines anyway I'm just being pedantic

It is a bit odd though, changing the oil and 'then' asking for advice!

Should he not be driving a DeLorian then and not a Scoob?
