Not updated for a long time
So new news irmscher front splitter gone for paint, xp rear splitter in for paint.
Then Friday evenING on way home from work tick tick tick tick tick
So side casing off 1 broke guide on the balance chain and the gm tensioner failed
So good used parts fitted to see if it fixes the fault (short term) sump off to find the bit of guide. Found it n cleaned the alloy flakes out the oil pickup (from tensioner and side case not excessive amounts but enough)
Anyway built back up no oil getting to the cams so sounds the same
Chains getting oil but cams are not
Next stage is either new NET head or break it for parts
