Ladies and gentlemen, I present F481 NLF...a little bit noisy as expected after a cold start after a rebuild, but nevertheless:

Who needs Harvey Gibbs? 

[massivewangers]

It lives!!!! 

But didn't you go back to ambers? 

[RST-Steve]

scchweeeet!!!!!!

NICE ONE CHRIS

[Churchy]

Will have a listen when I get home, as I have no speakers at the mo. Glad she's back up and running, we can make beautiful music on the duel carriage way again lol

[cozmeister]

Absolutely

It's a bit noisy as theres 16 new tappets that have yet to get their act together.  I screwed up installation of the fuel rail, so fuel was pissing out behind injector number 2 so didn't let it run long enough to run up to temperature.  That'll be fixed imminently though

[Churchy]

Doesn't sound any different to before lol

you get new cams for those tappets....?

[cozmeister]

Nope, same standard cams.

[Fireball]

Nope, same standard cams.

but not a new standard cam i mean?
I may be off target here with a YB, but it was my understanding that new tappets on an old worn cam will make as much noise as old tappets did as both the cam and followers need changing, or one just accelerates the wear of the other until they're as bad as the ones you just took out!

[cozmeister]

They're hydraulic, so any 'slack' is simply taken up by the tappet   Besides, they weren't exactly 'worn down', but are by no means BD14s

Right, although everything's largely normal, there's only two things left to work out.

1) a nasty burnt rubber smell, the source of which isn't immediately obvious
2) a slight air leak preventing full boost from being achieved

Hopefully I'll have these ready for the rolling road day.

So true!  Think I've sorted the boost problem...have to wait til it's dry to find out

You got me there   btw - I've found a fix for the forum.  If it's not working at all tomorrow, it means I've failed miserably.
