i think they work by sticking through the fins in the rad and probing the rad temp

Think they do both versions. That one I linked too looks like it goes in the rad, judging by the length of the probe, but they are available with a short sensor that fits in the top pipe and takes a reading off the water entering the radiator

thats probably the better one to have, in the pipe taking water reading,
dont like the look of the other one.

Demon tweeks do a few that just 'T' off a rad hose that you can set at different temps

the hole that the oil goes in may be blocked up.. just take the follower out and give it a good clean and make sure its oiled up nice.

Sophia_Bush · 29th March 2011, 20:41

engine is fresh build bottom up ain't it? only thing I can think of is either assembly mishap or the usual case of bit of oil in it leave for a while and gets gunged up

adzvtr · 29th March 2011, 20:46

ye m8 its a fresh build, but engine has been built for over 8 months and sat,
how could i have assembled wrong lol, cup sits in recess over valve tops????

Sophia_Bush · 29th March 2011, 20:50

like danny says it may be gunged up a bit end of day it ain't had that much running

adzvtr · 29th March 2011, 21:02

i know, had lots of suggestions like drive it fvor a bit see if it sorts out.
or strip it down.
i only have till friday to decide.

adzvtr · 30th March 2011, 16:42

head is stripped and i have 1 tappet that seems to not be getting oil inside, the rest u cant push the middle, but this 1 is springy, any ideas???

raunchz · 30th March 2011, 20:53

I'd replace it mate, put it in oil and see if it looks to fill up with oil? Or if you can squeeze it with oil in?

They new followers? From newmans?

blackie_2k5 · 30th March 2011, 21:17

ive heard a few few ppl have had issues with the followers from newmans, now i think about it they had te same issues with yours iirc?

AndySAXO^p · 30th March 2011, 21:23

Yer depends how long ago you got them as they changed back to the same as citreon use, so if it was last than a year, it be the sane followers as citreon sell for the engine.

Yer when it hard means it go oil in it, they springy when empty, so guess it that one is not get oil or not taking the oil.

Maybe replacing that one, if you can.

adzvtr · 30th March 2011, 23:51

as i have plans in october to get a jp4 head built with solids, im just gunna source another set from another vts or just replace that 1 for now, as a whole new set will be expensive and pointless i think????
do u think swapping that one will be ok

raunchz · 31st March 2011, 05:07

Are they new cams? Or old cams?

New followers or old ones?

If you wana go jp4 in 6 months time, then I'd simply replace one follower.

i have spare followers now, the only thing bugging me is they look different.
i believe mine r my originals, mk1, and the new ones are from a mk2,
will using one be ok, or should i swap all 16????

adzvtr · 1st April 2011, 17:24

car is all back together now, gunna leave the sealant to go off then see if the tappet issue has been resolved

blackie_2k5 · 1st April 2011, 21:47

awesome, new vid needed, mapping on hold till this is solved?

adzvtr · 1st April 2011, 22:32

it has quietened down alot now, so oil is getting into the tappets now
