4.6 RV8, does it sound OK?

Post by rich112 »

I know this is asking for trouble, but here's a video of the 4.6 running, after the oil pressure relief valve 'issue' was fixed!

I can hear a little bit of tapping but nothing too bad I don't think. Pretty sure it's no worse than it was before.

What do you think?

I am also getting an occasional pop from the exhaust on the odd side, but I have yet to put new plugs in or do a compression test.

The plug on 7 was a bit mucky.

The reset were fairly ok.

Sounds OK to me - yes that plug is a bit wet but the other one looks too lean.
