Hey guys, a few months back i had a problem with my engine it was making a tapping noise and so on, and blue smoke was coming out of it so i decide to have the engine recondiotioned at a local garage, so they changed valves piston rings two new pistons oil seals and some other bits and bobs...

the bloke did assure me that the car was fine, the cam shaft was ok, so he said, i will give them a good running period, i jus hope that the car is fine after a while, i didnt pay 500 for the noise to go down by 50%. i dnt want to spend more than i have to on this car. so how much would you...

Hey guys, I'm back with my car from the mechanics with the oil and filter changed, cam kit and tensioner changed, hydraulic tappets and anti freeze along with the waterpump. But the noise is still there but has been reduced, so it is not as allowed now but i and my friends can still notice...

thanks for the replys anyhow i will have to wait and see guys, nothing else i can do, hopefully that fixes it, i dnt fancy spending any more money on that car, i brought it with all hart and its starting to fade now with all the problems it has. hopefully this is the end of it, next thing...

yes you are correct, there is more rattling when the revs increase, why should the water pump be changed, what can this affect in terms of the problems that i have now? also how much would you say an engine would cost for my car, just out of curiosity

so in reality i got a lot of things to do to this car. damn when the price is so cheap it it too good to be true. im gonna let the bloke change the timing belt anywayz, see if that makes a difference, then if not change the oil, then have a look at the rings, hopefully its not a big problem.
