So from the beginning. Garage I do work for occasionally sold the car a couple of months ago. Customer brought it back with a ticking noise. Had a listen sounded like a bad hydraulic lifter on cylinder 2. Ordered a couple just incase (cars only done 25000)
Pulled it apart tonight and wasn’t expecting what I found. Timing was spot on timing tools all lined up perfectly.
One lifter was caved in and punched through. Several others slightly concave and showing impact damage.
All the valves move freely when compressed by hand.
Oil is full and clean.
Any one seen this on these engines?
I’m thinking possibly it’s been massively over revved maybe an accidental down change while accelerating.
Obviously I wasn’t present when this has occurred. Any one have first hand experience?
