had an diesel 2.286 engine rebuilt a couple of year ago and and lately is started sounding very rough as if it was missing.
Did all the usual checks and ended up having to take the head off to have a look.
I re-sat all the valves, fitted new valve caps new gasket and put all back together.
It ran for the first time to-day since the overhaul and all seemed fine so headed out the road for a spin.
The first thing I noticed was a lack of power and then things didnt sound right so I pulled in for a look.
There was a awfull racked coming from the air intake like a loud poping sound.
Well I managed to get home and had a another look,checked the tappets, a couple were tighish so adjusted them but still no better.
Any ideas.
