What's your Disco2's "heart" sound like?
On another thread, senior forum member "94svt50" posted a recording of the ticking/tapping noises his motor makes...
Until I changed my head gaskets, I hadn't paid attention to what my engine sounded like. This being my first V8, and the only DiscoII engine I ever hear, I don't have a baseline reference for what it's supposed to sound like etc... I don't know the difference between the sound of an engine that "purrs" and one that has a "slight tick" etc etc etc....
Any chance anyone else could post a recording of what their Disco sounds like? Does yours purr? Does yours have a tick from a worn tappet or some other engine sound? etc etc?
I'll record and post my engine some time today.
Cheers,
Thomas
