I've noticed for a longish while that ticking sound nothing can get rid of that tells me I may have a pitted cam lobe. ::) Saw the horrific price of a new (unavailable) one on CMSL ... 960 Euros listed.  :o Can a pitted cam be repaired?

Bryanj:
Most can be reprofiled or buy a performace? cam

Trigger:
A ticking sound may be pitted tappets or the springs on the rockers are located wrong side  ;)

I hope so, I'll be finding out when I open her up!  ;D

If they are pitted try Newman Cams who are right on your doorstep in Orpington. They are very good and have reprofiled cams and followers for me on two occassions.
