Had my head gasket done about a month ago picked the car up and it was really tappy the garage told me it would stop, they said it was the lifters sorting them selves out , so after about 200 miles no change still tappy I took the car bk to the garage they checked the compression and lifters and said they were fine, so I carried on using the car I left work one day and put my foot down to get in front off a truck the car lost loads off power and started making a really bad clanging noise I have spoke to a mate who used to be a peugeot mechanic he said aswell as another mate its the valves and lifters that are at fault________________________________________ Adding up the bills for the 6 |

Ow and I've been reassured it isn't the bottom end all the noise is coming from the top off the engine ________________________________________ Adding up the bills for the 6 |

I'd imagine the clanging noises are the valves trying to beak free through the pistons.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Was it a tapper before the garage did the headgasket? If not then the garage bent some valves during the course of the repair and left you with a tapper. Best get on the blower to the garage and politely enquire as to how they wish to resolve the issue...________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Good luck with that sounds like a poor repair to me but I doubt the garage will do anything Best off getting a different engine |

Yeah it will still run as still getting fuel air and a spark just down on compression in that cylinder noise will be broken valve floating around in the head being smashed by the piston into the head |

Get the compression test done, if there is a valve issue compression will be practically zero. If that turns out to be the case, buy a second hand lump. I think Ratboy still has a rebuilt one up for grabs. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.
