Hi

 

I am just doing battle with my AFN engine now, I am fairly certain that my noise (Rattle and Knock) is coming from the hydraulic tappets.

 

I am half way thro' striping and cleaning each hydraulic tappet, so far I have found 3 that are broken internally the little spring inside has broken. Some are badly pitted on the piston face and some have stress cracks on the top surface. 1 is jammed solid.

 

I was inspired by this: http://www.nuvision.ndo.co.uk/tappets.htm

 

My time is free and I find it quite satisfying getting something to work that didn't before.

 

I have 2 sets of Hydraulic tappets so I hope to make one good set of 8 from the 16 I have.
