replaced everything, rings/shells/seals/cam etc. full new rebuild.
just using castrol gtx oil at the mo, going to drop it out @ 100 miles and do oil/filter change with some better stuff.

glad yours is up and running mate :thumb: looking very cool in that bay.

@ rav. it was the tappets mate, re adjusted them and she was fine

if everything is new I'd use millers comp running in oil it's only 20 quid good stuff it help bed the ring etc in normal oil don't really do the job I run mine in for 1000 miles didn't go over 3k rev first time round this time I'm only gonna go for 500 miles just to bed the rings in
