yeah i should be going for sure.

I'm up for it!! Though where is the Dam can we get some maps on here or can someone tell me a street around the Dam so I can find it???

Also who ever is organising the meet on the GC and heading down (if someone is doing this) where are we meeting. How about Hungry Jacks, Mudgeeraba next to the highway???? :)

I'm goin from the sunny coast however I am thinking I might tag onto the back of the cruise as it goes past me in caloundra rather than drive to bne then back the way I came and then out to Somerset :)

What to the fellow Sunny Coasters think :)

Gives me chance to sleep in and save fuel :lol:

Okay for the Gold Coast Crew

We meet at the BP Coomera by 8.45am to leave at 9.00am sharp.

Exit 54

We will then drive to the Aspley Hypermarket.

UHF frequency will be Channel 16

The BP Coomera is the best bet, as it is flat and anyone on the North of the Gold Coast doesn't have to double back to the Shell at Mudgeeraba.

We will meet in the Carpark at the front of the Bowsers to the left as you drive into the BP.

    • 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!
    • 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?  
    • 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
