Good luck with your future Sam. Glad to hear that Nick's taken you on. Obviously going by these posts, people tend to assume too much too fast without being fully informed about the situation. But I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion and level of interest, otherwise we wouldnt have forums like this. haha To clear it all up for you SAU guys, there is no bridges burnt between Sam and BMT. The decision is based on the fact that BMT has altered its business direction and focus. This is not to discourage you guys to think that we will not provide the similiar service that we have always provided. Its just like a career move to improve sections of the business that needs improvement and expansion.

Sam's "long service leave" ;P haha was not based on any ill-agreements or hatred between parties. Both Sam and I have agreed that there will be no issues of which customers/car clubs belong to who. Its just a matter of which duties need to be carried out, whether it be ECU related or mechanical. Quite possibly it could work out that BMT does the mechanical work and engine work, and tuning be carried out by Sam and Nick from Complete.

As for David that "used" to have an affiliation with BMT, there is nothing much to say about his permanent termination from the business. To put it simply, deal with a person as such, and be-friend a person as such........ all you get is a sharp rusty knife in your back. Some may know the whole story, or a jist of it, but it is best that those who dont know remain uninformed.

A quote for inspiration : "dont dream, live it... may the boost be with you".

good to hear that agreements are made and friends are kept :D

Ha ha, Ive given him a few nice ones. I tend to stay away from making any physical contact with Sam as he has an obvious problem with his bowels. His farting problem hasnt ceased since he started with us. Im feeling sorry for Nick at Complete already.

As the title says, Sam loves preying on little boys, especially when he dresses them up in pink fluro speedos. hahaha

As most SAU members can appreciate, public defamation is not the way of the Oyabun. As any mature person can see - there will generally be more than one side to every story.

I can appreciate we both probably regret that we parted in such a way, however you must understand I had my reasons for doing what I did. We all learn a lot in hindsight, and I have also learned that you must be very careful who you trust in your dealings.

On business, if you (BMT) can provide superior service in your chosen areas, then I'm sure you will succeed in maintaining a loyal customer base & bringing in new business - it is as simple as that.

I have chosen my communication method, as you have yours. I have confidence in SAU members to make their own minds up on who they can trust to take their business to.

I'm getting on with my life after we have parted, and I think you should do the same. If you wish to continue to make such comments - I will request the SAU moderators remove you from this forum.

Regards to all,

David (aka Oyabun)

ylwgtr2,

I assume you support this kind of behaviour on the forums.

I don't have a problem with you, but I request you refrain from commenting on what you don't understand.

All the rest of you - this post was about Sam leaving BMT to goto Complete... so best of luck Doc!

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Everyone who knows me, knows why I left, and the decision was mine and a long time coming.

An agreement has been made with Andrew from BMT and I will continue to do most of their tuning.

Look forward to seeing you all soon at some up-coming dyno days!!!!

Doc.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      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

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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?

      Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
