Thanks. I will try to make a sound recording of the engine after cold start. Is it a likely that the hydraulic lifters are the first or early parts to...
Hi again. The engine has now run 15 hours since the incident. All seems good except it appears there now is a ticking sound after start and during war...
Continue to see these eratic pressure spikes, so I have decided to replace the sender. I remove the old VDO sender to verify the model and find there ...
