It's all working fine, i just wanted to fit one so it didn't overflow on the road and waste coolant on initial fill-up and just to have that bit extra in reserve just in case something did happen.

Last service I ran penrite 20w60 as i was thinking thin oil too.

Last time i did it hot and it is nice and quiet on start up but that's when the ticking/rattle noise became noticeable. What is the lowest gap i can safely set them to when hot?

It does have adjustable tappets, I'll try tightening them a bit and see what happens.

It has the bigger style radiator cap. Is this a fairly standard size across many cars?

Cool, thanks for that, will check it out tomorrow.

Hi guys, have been reading the posts regarding fitting an overflow bottle to my EA81 brumby. I have a bottle and hoses set up but was just wondering what sort of radiator cap to use. I realise it needs to be a return style cap, just after a cap part number or a car model's cap that will fit it prope...

Hi all, just got my first subaru, a 1991 brumby. Currently sorting a few things out, one of which is the valve clearances. I have searched but have found conflicting measurements so am wondering if anyone can give me the definite measurements in mm? Thanks in advance.
