Well, I've checked the tappets and though there are a few wear spots on the followers the gaps are spot on. 6 and 7 thou in the right places.
If it's little-end who is the go-to for new bushings? or is it new piston time?
I have a set of Renault rods and pistons that I was going to use in a spare engine but if I recall correctly they'll be to wide and too long for this standard engine.
I wonder if piston slap might be a culprit as it hasnt run for ages - but i dont know if that's a thing with sevens?
