easypops 8 Posted May 31, 2008 When i did mine it also sounded like a diesel.......was because i didn't tighten the timing belt tensioner up correctly :bonk: but sounded fine after that was sorted......so no it will sound the same.......you might be a tooth out? all the answers are out there......the search is the place to go.........try these for a start viewtopic.php?f=1&t=54762&hilit=kr+cam+tooth+out viewtopic.php?f=1&t=57991&hilit=kr+cam+tooth+out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flusted 0 Posted June 2, 2008 did you make sure all the cam caps went back on in the correct order? they are numbered Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldskoolkool 0 Posted June 2, 2008 hey flusted yeh i did indeed ive narrowed it down now to the timing chain i have either put it on the opposite way or the right way and it needs to whear to the different cams but its gona take a loooooonng time so i may just get a new one.... btw they are fine what you supplyed and they do make a difference but also i sorted the running too it was the metering head the c is running sooo well atm im well chuffed :D im hoping it will quiet down afther i do the chain cheers liam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flusted 0 Posted June 3, 2008 capslock on computer :brickwall: I really dont think its the chain, i fitted the ABF cams in mine and didnt replace chain or made note which way it went on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldskoolkool 0 Posted June 3, 2008 oh yeh lol durrr. yeh i got me mate at work to listen and he dosent rely think it is either he seems to think combustion noise or start of big ends or little just wait to see if it gets worse but its only done 109 k so i shall just wait and see whats the difference with abf cams then mate? i keep hearing about them im not clued up with all that technicality stuff :( L Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted June 4, 2008 ABF have more lift but less duration, ideal for supercharged or turbo. may be worth taking rockercover off and double checking that the capsd are on as numbered in correct order Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
