[QUOTE="gvee, post: 528249, member: 14750"] First day on the van in 6 or more week: engine service time! Oil dropped, gauze cleaned out, new gaskets and refitted. Then came the tappet adjustment... [img]http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/gvee87/roxy/DSC_0215_zpstrhneeie.jpg[/img] Heavy duty springs my ass! Spring snapped in to 3 pieces. No idea what's happened to the valve yet. Keeping all fingers crossed. Bent the push rod tube too! Do straighten or replace it or all 8? That'll explain the problems from December then! Ran it 100 miles home on just 3 cylinders... Oops! Back down again tomorrow to pull the engine and assess the damage properly. [/QUOTE]
