matth76 1 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I had some fitted by The Phirm just recently. There were two main sorts to go for - ones for just over £70 and some really good quality ones which are supposed to be tougher which were £89. I went for the £89 ones and I was there when they were fitted (along with some 268 cams). Initally they were really noisy, very noisy in fact, but thats normal as they need to fill with oil fully. After a good rev of the engine when it was warm it all quietened down. Now, two weeks or so later, my car is as quiet as a mouse... the only thing I can hear when the car is stationary is my six branch ticking away faintly (as they normally do). The engine is still slightly tappety but far far quieter than before.Why do you ask... is your car still noisy since fitting new ones? Link to post Share on other sites
