Re: noisey tappets
35bhp is a big difference. What hasn't he done that he promised? I'd be wanting some money back!!!

165BHP is about right for a 2lt Blacktop Zetec on injection. What spec is your engine ??

Re: noisey tappets
Interesting spec. Is this something someone is doing for you (mapping the Omex etc) ? The Griffin is a unusual choice compared with Jenvieys or Bike ITBs. Does the OMEX trigger the VVT?
