Bringing this thread back from the dead I know.....

Can someone tell me if the guys at Briffa Engineering have another number other than the mobile one listed in this thread??

I am having some polishing work done there and when I rang to see if I was able to pick the parts up I got a guy that does not speak English so well - which is making it difficult to find out why and how long my job is being delayed.

I gathered from a brief (confusing) conversation on the phone: a machine of some sort is broken and they don't know when it will be fixed.

Just my luck. Looks like the car will be off the road for a little while longer than i'd hoped.

Anyway, just wanting to get hold of the younger guy I met there when I dropped off the parts to find out what the story is.

Cheers,

Tay

Ok cool. definately NO problems though. Mick seemed like a very genuine guy when I met him.

Sounds like they just broke something?

Was supposed to pick up tomorrow but I'll just leave it till later in the week and see how they go.

Appreciate the offer though Andrew.

Here's a quick snap straight after I put the cam covers back on.

Still got to clean up lots under the bonnet but I'm getting there.

Gotta add a few more bits of go fast bling like HKS fuel rail and and oil filler cap......and then when I get really bored I'll get the intake plenum done.

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
