Mark sent me a text at 1.30am about the car Dom, were you out drowning your sorrows
At least you found out what was wrong with it That vw specialist needs to be , cams were put in wrong, now the rocker rollers. Hopefully this will be the last engine surgery the car gets
Really glad the problem has been found.Strange to hear that its the rockers at fault. These are the same rockers used in the Gallardo engines that constantly rev high.So are the valves leaking under a leak down test Steve?

Speak to Dom about it, it's quite scary how it had been built so wrong when it's such a simple motor to put together
Smells like a similar problem to robdf2

Speak to Dom about it, it's quite scary how it had been built so wrong when it's such a simple motor to put together I was going to put it into BDM to get the rebuild done, but Maxitrol had found a garage 40mins away from me that did his engine, so went to them instead unfortunately
I wouldn't send Harry's bike to BDM (when hes big enough for a bike)
