Well guys...I'm happy to say...The EA is going again!....Thanks to a little advice from my brother in law. He came over the other night and we went thro and checked everything in the top end. Did a change of the Lash adjusters...noise was still there.....then did comp test...and all OK....so we decided to throw another Rocker Rack on it.....and BINGO.....all fixed!!!. I put some plugs in it tonight and took it out for a thrash....and all good....no knocking noises!. It's just a shame it had to let go when i was getting ready to race those R31's at the drags....lol

Yes you'd think someone would have remembered a spare rocker assembly.
Glad to hear it's back in action Dave. |
