Could be a shagged lash adjuster not holding pressure.

are you sure theres no lash adjusters in the 5L?

i checked at work today (which is repco) and we list lash adjusters for it...?

if its something like that id probley get it fixed soonish, but if its gana be something thats gana cost big money, it might prompt some performance heads...

but we will cross that bridge when i find out wtf it is...

lol like u never flogged a car before... i dont think there is anyone on here that hasent...


yep, all the time.

And it costs me in higher maintenance costs. I recently ruined $1000 of brake rotors in only about 30 minutes of track action.

Play hard, pay hard. Get used to it.

but that s**t happens with a used car. unless you know the previous owners and how they treated it (hardly going to happen) your taking a gamble.

My EB for example, 3 months after i bought it the motor started to get a bad bottom end knock and metal shavings in the oil. motor lasted another 18 months though then i swapped it still running though
i serviced the auto twice since i owned it but the previous owner didn't so i cracked then engine braking band piston.
and the single wheeler diff blew up 2 years after i bought it due to lack of maintainence.
