Got a call yesterday from my mate Milton who works at Motorworks in Hobart. They've just PD's their first Stelvio for a customer and he says it has a pronounced metalic 'Knock' from the top end on one pot, (I think he said the right hand one.) anyway he called me up to ask if I had any experience with such things as he was sure the purchaser would pick up on it and the importer had told hime 'They all do that'.
Now obviously it's hard to make any kind of diagnosis without hearing it and Milton being the thorough sort of bloke he is is pulling the cam-box for a looksee but have any Stelvio owners noticed this sort of noise?
Before anyone asks the reason it has taken so long for Oz to get Selvios is because our shipments were held up so the cam updates could be done 'In House' at the factory prior to delivery so we *shouldn't* have any of the soft tappeters and from my own experience of mine I know the 8V motor is a noisy brute but I haven't experienced anything like this 'Knock' which is occuring at well below 1/2 engine speed which is really weird???
Anyway. If anyone would like to comment we'd like input. If Milton finds a problem I'll give feedback here.
