Another disturbing noise from Ruby

[David Stepney]

Dennis, I apologise if you thought that I was in any way critical. That was not my intention. I tend to be a bit OTT and indeed OCD about things mechanical. The important point that I make is that the head nuts should be checked for tightness soon after the engine has been run and at regular intervals thereafter as C/A gaskets do tend to settle in service.

Having run classic cars for most of my driving career, many of them pre-war, I have sometimes had to learn the hard way and it is no fun, having spent time and effort doing something, only to discover that there is a problem and one has to do the job again.
