There's no mistaking it, definitely lifter noise this one and RB's seem to all do it from very soon after new from what I'm told. 20 seconds after it's started it's purring like a kitten. I read that Nissan list the life expectancy of a RB at 400K ks, this one only has 112k ks - I'm more worried about the timing belt at this point in time as I can't find a replacement entry at the 100k service in the log book. Guess I'm gonna learn some new skills with this engine. Now changing some of the plugs also looks to be a bit of a challenge.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Geordie Sent: Tuesday, 25 March 2003 1:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: For anyone who's interested.... Importance: High IMO lifter noise can be hard to distinguish from big end bearing noise. You'll know when the bearing lets go, but the noise during the lead up can be very similar!   Bleeding SR lifters is not hard, just gotta pull the cams out, remove each lifter one by one, poke a nail in the hole and dunk 'em in oil, pump them a few times, pull the nail out while they're submerged and they come good.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Terry Rudd Sent: Monday, 24 March 2003 11:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: For anyone who's interested.... Speaking of tick noises, does the SR20 engine make the lifter racket that my RB30 makes just after a cold start-up first thing especially now the mornings here are a tad cooler. I've stuck Nulon in it as the Skyline/VL ppl both told me to do which has made a bit of a difference but every other day makes a hell of a noise on the first start.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Geordie Sent: Monday, 24 March 2003 11:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: For anyone who's interested....

Does the engine make a tick noise at all?     --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
