My 32 came without the clicker knob assembly, is there anyway to adjust it accurately and safely without the clicker or is the purpose of the clicker to measure the adjustment?

Already contacted streeter.... just wanted to start playing now.

when the click knob is fitted, you are meant to go full hard then count the clicks back, as even though are 32 steps, you are meant to use the first 16... the click measurement is in the assembly I am missing, I have used a 2.5mm allen key to gentley turn them full hard simply to make sure they are all equal and not too far anti clockwise(soft) until my adjusters are sorted... I have posted this just incase anyone else ever searches this. i will update with confirmed part numbers once I get the knobs.

SPS12-G0047 from http://www.tein.com/online_shop/wrench.html (second from the bottom)

Just waiting for Streeter to be able to contact Tein and confirm with them that it is the correct part number. as that is the USA store

    • FWIW, I've aerated oil, and cams snapped. You can figure out the rest 🥲
    • Depending on the hose, sometimes engine out is the easiest option  
    • Get an inspection camera up there. 
    • Yeah, but look at the margin in viscosity between the 40 and the 60 at 125°C. It is not very large. It is the difference between 7 and 11 cP. Compare that to the viscosity at only 90°C. The viscosity axis is logarithmic. The numbers at 90 are ~15 and ~35. That is about half for the 40 wt oil and <half for the 60. You give up viscosity EXPONENTIALLY as temperature rises. Literally. That is why I declare thicker oil to be a bandaid, and a brittle one at that. Keep the oil temperature under about 110°C and you should be better off.   Having said all of that, which remains true as a general principle, if you have indeed lost enough oil from the sump that the pump was seeing slightly aerated oil, then all bets are off. That would of course cause oil pressure to collapse. And 35 psi is a collapse given what you were doing to the engine. Especially if the oil was that hot and viscosity had also collapsed. And I would put money on rod or main bearings being the source of the any noise that registered as knock. Hydraulic lifters should be able to cope with the hotter oil and lower pressure enough to prvent too much high frequency noise, although I am willing to admit it could be the source.
