I am pretty sure now that I can just get new studs.
I think I will get the roller rocker upgrades while im at it. Maybe that will be a bit quieter?
I have to say, It is amazing how breakages are contained with these engines.
in any other engine, a loose bolt, washer and rocker would spell disaster. But not here. I am extremely lucky.
Same goes for the consequence of an all too familiar belt breakage.
Im less keen on the RAC 3 hour response time to oxford. Its hardly the middle of nowhere. There are a few drunk tourists to chat to. Why people dont go to bed is beyond me.
I tried to push the car up the road. Aftr half a mile the police stopped me because I had no hi vis jacket On. So I put on my french holiday outfit gendarme proof jacket whereupon I was told it still wouldnt do. Still waiting.
