[Vista]

come on noodles were waiting

 

what was the outcome

 

As above..........................................................

[Noodles]

Lets say the night ended like this...................................

[Copey]

ooohhh it broke

 

not expensive i hope?

[Noodles]

Hope not the cam was very loud, me and pete were both puzzled. We think there is something wrong with the followers, the adjuster for the seats are really high. Im gonna check the engine out tommorow to see whats what. It rollered up well lets just say it made good even though it wasnt pushed hard.

 

But it broke on way home

[marky4]

hope it's not to serious mate

[Trevmk3]

sorry to here that Dean

[Noodles]

Right sussed it out, opened the rocker cover one of the follwers had come off took all the followers out and surprise surprise the problem was due to Burton Powers chocolate followers, again! All of them worn at leat 1.5mm put all the old followers back on all spaced up fine except one, so had to take the head off to make sure no valves were bent. Fortunatly none were, but now I have to get another £40 head gasket and flush the whole engine out to get rid all the metal floating about.

 

I dont care who I upset when I say this but Burton Followers are mega crap if you have a set to put in your pinto dont bother! It took six months to get this second set which did the same thing!

[frenchy]

That's shit son at least therse no damage

[jamesmk1]

sorry to hear that mate.

i also broke a Follower last night but that was a 20 year old ford one.

[bigdaz27]

did you use new followers with old cam ?

[Noodles]

New follwers very low mileage cam, but the first set i ever used with the cam were from the same place and they did the same thing.

[prefectopop]

Oh knickers - hopefully you'll get it sorted out soon matey

[bigdaz27]

ive had the same thing with pinto cams its a comen problem you need to read and follow the running in guid to the letter also if the cams got a little mark on it it will pick up and fook the followers up and with a pinto engine its a good idea to use new followers with a new cam do not ever use new followers with old cam they will last 5mins if people tell you other wise there talking piss ask an engine builder any way hope this helps you out
