Hi their I have recently fitted a Hybrid Stealth fx BOV and It started to stall so in order for it to work a mechanic minded next door neighbour raised idle a little and played around with the BOV setting and now it seems to be idling ok hasnt stalled since is this ok?? When i turn on the car it idles alittle high then return to normal once car is warmed up. One other prob the car has this tapping sound coming from the engine. Its starts off once car is turned on but once car is warm it either goes away or is i hear a very light tapping is this the Hydraulic lifters?? If so can i do something to make it stop completely pour some kind of solution in the engine to clean it and does this have any connection with me connection a BOV???? Thanks for your guys answers im kinda worried.

ok the engine will idle up when cold and slow idle back to normal once war anyway thats normal. The car would have been stalling coz the setting on the bov may have been to soft or something hard to say unless ya have a look at it. the tapping noise may be the lifters, all u can do is either bare the noise, run a slighty thicker oil or replace them, but find out for sure what it is first. good luck, i wouldn t be worried, sometimes an exhaust leak can appear to be a ticking sound to.

the idling shouldnt really make the bov go ok!!! it will stall if the bov is leaking. there should be a tension setting for the bov spring somewher eon the bov. Im not familiar with ur type of bov. Try a thicker oil in engine, or just get a mechanic to tell u.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
