hey guys,
i have a problem with the vk 308 i installed into my sl/e it started making a banging kind of noise on hard acceleration and also blow back through carby at same time, so i thought i would take the rocker covers off to see if a rocker had broken etc.
all seemed good but some were loose so checked the torque on them and all was fine, i then got someone to crank the motor of the key and watched each rocker push the valve down.
all moved freely but one (exhaust) valve hardly moved at all, am i right in thinking it is the lifter that has failed?
and would you recommend just replacing all the lifters with new ones or is it something else thats gone wrong?
