winchbietch 0 Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Is this the norm as im led to believe or excessive? Paul The reason i ask is my vr has started to sound like this: Quietens up when warmed up but it has a ticking / chattering throughout rev range and on idle. - oil change 150 miles ago 5-30 millers Engine rebuilt 16k ago - head refurbed, new oversized pistons, new shells etc.. 2K ago New 263 cams, inf lifters, new mk4 tensioners. 500 miles ago visually checked cams, followers, upper chain tensioner before fitting schrick. Any help info before i pull the engine out to investigate would be greatly appreciated. Paul Edited November 27, 2011 by winchbietch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannyboy 0 Posted November 29, 2011 Id say you'd really want to worry more about axial play rather than end float as the crank and head should both have a small amount of end float between them so intermediate shaft will only move as much as the bottom or top end end-float allows. From your video it doesnt look excessive at all,looks quite normal. From what i gather it sounds more like a oil problem if its dissappering when warm,maybe oil pressure to the top end/tappets isnt as good as it should be?Maybe oil is too thin?
