[Stef205]

Been driving it around for a bit now all seems well UNTILL...........

I had developed at tap/knock at the top end - sounded like a common tappet so traced it down to the inlet side started removing parts, removed the timing cover to find that the cover was hold the inlet pulley bolt in! Naturally thought the worst got the bore scope down each cylinder to check if we had kissed any valves. Luckily we hadnt! I had built the engine with a fair amount of clearance. So the inlet pulley had be smacking up and down on its adjustment hence the knock sound i guess, Retimed it all, thoughly cleaned the inner threads and the pulley bolt and a good dose of thread lock and tightened to FT! Torque settings had gone out the window at this point!
Turned the key with fear to hear the sound of a smooth and non tapping engine!

Anyway here a quick blast im still learning to deal with the power and at the time the tracking was to cock. 4,000rpm seems to be the scary point
