Today I made the K-Series equivalent of a pilgrimage to see one of the learned men of K-Series tuning 😶‍🌫️, yes you guessed it I visited DVA. My Scholar 1.9K has become very "tappy" over the last few thousand miles, so I managed to get a consult from Dave. Luckily he has concluded that it's the shims, so it's not too serious at the moment. Due to my car being fitted with Piper 1444 cams Dave told me that the gaps should be 10-thou inlet and 12-thou exhaust. Most were a long way off, the following shows the readings Dave took; Cyl 1 In = 10, Ex = 13 Cyl 2 In = 9, Ex = 15 Cyl 3 In = 13, Ex = 16 Cyl 4 In = 15, Ex = 15 Cyl 5 In = 12, Ex = 15 Cyl 6 In = 12, Ex = 14 Cyl 7 In = 12, Ex = 15 Cyl 8 In = 12, Ex = 15 As you can see most are showings signs of wear, and 2 are a long way out. Dave said these are a concern due to the hammering that the followers are taking, not good for a tuned K The car in now booked in with Dave for him to replace them all with ones manuafactured to his own spec by a trusted engineering company. A BIG THANK YOU to Oily for his warm welcome this morning, it was really like meeting a life long friend and he showed me a collection of very interesting parts from his ever growing collection of bits. Cheers - Andy

I'm gutted for you Dave ☹️ You said that it was a bit stiff (the gear box 😬) when we were at Poole, Quay for my Car. I hope you get it sorted soon and not too expensive. It was so sad seeing Beth's sad face at the window of the recovery truck cheers Andy Chaos, Panic and Disorder; my work here is done...

Hi Nigel, I bought some last year in carbon effect. They took a bit of work to get them to fit the way I wanted them too. I trimmed them to fit better and bent them using a hot air gun so they fitted inside the scuttle edge like the real carbon fiber ones from Mog. I hold them in place with some standard poppers. Here are some photos for you; Trimmed half door Curved front edge Fitted to car Inside view Leading edge inside scuttle cheers Andy I am Leg End...

I've had a similar sounding ticking noise from my K-series and have been told that it's likely to be the manifold gasket (I don't want it to be anything else more expensive...please). My questions...is the manifold gasket the same as the standard K-series one as fitted to a Lotus Elise? I have a Lotus dealer just down the road and could get one from there if they are the same... My car is a 1.9K with the modified big valve VVC head. cheers Andy I am Leg End...

Sorry to throw another option into the ring ...BUT I've used one of these for years (also a popular buy on BlatChat)... CTEK XS3600 Charger I also bought the ciggie lighter power adapter so I don't have to remove the bonnet. I used it recently to recover the AGM battery on my MX5 which had been stood for 18 months and was nearly completely discharged. It been a good unit and keeps my 7 battery on constant trickle charge when not in use. I would guess if you don't have the usual suspects (that you list) you probably don't have any parasitic loads. You could measure with an ammeter clipped between the battery lead and the battery terminal if there is any current with everything switched off... PS I didn't buy directly from the CTEK site, I found a better deal via Google I am Leg End... Edited by - Andy Whittle on 18 Feb 2010 07:42:56
