in most cases they can be revived by stripping down cleaning and re-dressing the top surface.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Compression test won't show up a bent valve, when they tap they still seal correctly just tap as they hit the valve seat and eventually the valve falls in half and ruins the engine. Some last months others years. If it sounds the same hot and cold you've got a bent valve. If it comes and goes loud and quiet depending on oil temperature among other things then it's probably a tappet. I've heard about pattern ones being utter s**te so if it's tappets buy genuine once and save yourself the hassle. Or just turn up the stereo  ________________________________________ Black power baby!

The sound is much the same whether its hot or cold, mite be cheaper to source a good cylinder head, if theres one to be had |

Just done a 1400 mile round trip to Scotland with one intermittently noisy lifter, got so loud on occasions it was embarassing. It mostly seemed to happen above 3000 RPM for long periods, then next day quiet again. |

Would bent valves cause the car to cut out when the engine gets up to temperature, engine check light is on and after tryin everything to get her started. |
