GR Tappet sound.

Postby Muad_dib77 » Mon Mar 19, 2007 5:16 pm

Hi Guys..

I was wondering if anybody here cold describe the Tappet sound that can occur from GR engines for me.

Does it sound more like a tractor or more like a click-click-click increasing with the revs?

I'm looking at the possibilty of bying a GR as a bit of a project type thing..but I'm a bit worried...

Agreed. If very bad the noise never fully goes away though.
