Events Organiser MP Admin Posts: 1923 Location: Somerset | Thanks guys! Just a query for you brainiacs, anyway I can quieter down my vvc mechs? I've heard about running diesel oil for a few thousand to clean everything but I am unsure... Ideas? As my vvc sounds like a tractor but still goes well | ||

When I first had my old engine which I sold to addz, the mechs did my nut in. Give it a good flush then went to get some fresh 10/40 semi but missed the shop by a few minutes. Her oldman only had 10/40 mineral oil in the garage so I banged that in, and to my surprise the mechs did sound quite abit quieter. Had a google and a few have said the same. | |||

If you out thick oil in to shut them up you wont fill your tappeta and loose power and your engine wont be protected aswell when cold and will wear faster. Get more mechs or go solid cam, or man-up and get a louder exhaust so you cant hear them | ||

Events Organiser MP Admin Posts: 1923 Location: Somerset | thanks for the advice guys Finnished the comps now... after rubbing them down with 3000 grit wet n dry with soapy water and buffing them with meguiars ultimate compound, they have come out like a glass finnish! so happy! HIGHLY RECOMMEND rubbing down lacquer after with wet n dry! it gives it a proffesional paintjob shine! Can you believe this finnish?! Sprayed it all with aerosol!
