This is a low kilo car with a rattle and nosiy engine.
Car is a weekend toy predominantly

Vanos and clearances to be done.




The older models have a weakness in the can hub backplate coning loose as the factory did not use locktite so I was asked to change bolts.

Good thing.

Surprisingly at some stage of its life this car actually has had valve clearances adjusted before.....first one I have come across

Whoevers car this is, it is going to be well worth it.

Quick question, I see the K&N sticker on the air filter box is it a pure paper or sponge type of filter and what are the results?

 

[Gizmo]

Clearances yes
Vanos yes
Oil pump drilling maybe

The short answer is yes.
