Basically i had a nasty engine rattle/ tapping on the 172 about a month ago so took it to the garage, they've since stripped the head down and found a damaged valve ( slightly scored on the stem part). Apparently this has caused damage to a hydraulic lifter :dapprove: what i need to know...
Gotta try and remove a large patch of masking tape, the tapes been pulled off the paintwork but has left behind a large sticky patch that didn't pull away properly. I've tried AG intensive tar remover with no success so what would people recommend?
At around 10am I will be venturing out to change the radiator on the 172 as it's leaking, how difficult is this gunna be? Got my next door neighbour and a few cans of strongbow to help me with it :approve:
.....to quite like this?
