Location: gloucester | i now own a white r100 1.1 past down to me from my mum, the head gasket blew when she own it, tryed fixing it for her and some tw*t i was working with got the timing out, bent all 4 inlet valves and wasted a weekends work, mum got a new can and gave me the dead rover to fix as i had just enroled on a 1st year motor vehicle coarse with gloscat.
to cut an even longer story short ive fixed it all my self and got it running hurray!!!, after atleast 8 months of putting it off.
but now its gone from fairly easy job to a f***ing anoying and mind boggling job, because there is now a squeek from the camshaft,  so stripped the engine down to the cam shaft again, for the 3rd time, to find that a the oil channels in the carrier were blocked and there was metal fillings in the camshaft bearings, tiny minute scores in the bearings but nothing too bad, so i cleaned it all up heavily oiled the bearings and the shaft and put it back together, start it up after 3 hours of work sounds fine for a few minutes then comes back, b*ll*cks,
can some one please give me some suggestions as to what the problem could be,
i recon a possibility of it being the oil seals.
its a constant squeel from the cam shaft area sounds abit like rubber on metal, i will try doing the oil seals any way.
cheers,
