FTO AUSTRALIA

looked around on the forum couldnt find anything about any locations in sydney to adjust my tappets.. anyone got any thoughts/reviews of places theyve possibly got their tappets adjusted or know anyone on fto club who can? cheers guys!

I will do them for you if you can make the drive up to Newcastle.

Ahh so far

I believe I am the only member in NSW with the tool. And it will be cheaper than any mechanic as all if will cost you is fuel. A mechanic will charge you upwards of $200

Mechanic would be more than $200 I reckon.

I'm happy to go up with you to Vectose's house and we can make a day/cruise/tappet day out of it if you like, if Rob's up for that of course.

Interesting ! Get to meet all the Fto nsw people .. Cruise sounds like a plan !! Although when ? Preferably weekends ( hope my car makes it )

Whenever. I just need two weeks notice so I can get a day off work.

Don't we all.

Is there an actual date ? ( saw it on another topic )

The Newcastle Run in the NSW section will not be for a tappet day. That one is just to have a fun drive and a meet up.

$200, I got F**King ripped, i paid 900 to this tosser in ipswich for just that adjustment. My waller got raped that day

As I said "upwards" of $200.

$200 being mates rates.

I do them free for members.

Benefits of having an Fto

You can send all the Jim on to me

And even after the 900 they still tappppppppppp, only after warmed though which is weird, gonna try some titanium 5-30 oil this weekend and hopefully that fixes it.

Change in oil brands can be a difference. Payaya recommends the Nason lifters (GR, not GPX - replaced, not adjusted) with I believe Castrol Edge.

Just dont get a thicker oil to mask it. Stick with 10-40 or 5-30.

Have a new bottle of Castrol edge Titanium 5w-30w in the workshop ready to go in after the new box is finished. We shall see how those pesky tappets go after that.
