okay i know that it's a six forum but an orphan is an orphan
me and my dad are stumped on what's wrong with the newly rebuilt i8 engine,
history,
spun a bearing and had basko rebuild engine... cam timing was way off when it returned, we have since fixed it..
the timing mark was way off, again we have made a new correct mark on the HB for TDC on #1...
currently it now runs, but with this horible tick... it almost sounds deisel like tick...
it over heated recently on a 15mile drive, backfiring last mile constently when it was hot
now it runs but back to it's horrible ticking, but with a few backfires it gets worse with the gas peddle
it has hydrolic lifters so we don't understand the ticking
now what can we do?
i have looked at the cap and rotor they are 'shaving' into each other... where can we replace these or what can we replace them with?
anytips in tunning this monster i8 (356ci)
Thanks
Richard and Dad
