It does have a pod, yes. 17s no. Only 13s.
All this happened after getting back from a long drive (About 240 there and back)

"tintin", its always on the valve lifters when it is warm (Not just a tap here and there).
My engine is basically stuffed-im just trying to see it though until i have finished my research into a conversion, and can afford to get another built.
All that being said though, it shouldnt have dropped what performance it had left after going for a long drive, surely.
Should it be running a little rougher in idle or anything to guess the timing is out "sri baby"? Was maybe thinking loss of vaccum, compression or fuel pressure now you mention that too.
Thoughts?

It's normal mate, they only have 44 bhp. No power to get up hills.
