I have to say I don't hear anything alarming. Maybe valves ticking, or even injectors.

General Discussion / Re: Concours/Resto Mod Restoration Shop

« Last post by stickandrudderman on Today at 07:59:19 »

We all started somewhere, including mechatronix.
In my working life I have seen several "high end" restoration shops arrive on the scene with little to no knowledge and yet, thanks to clever marketing, they are perceived around the world as experts even if their product does not withstand expert scrutiny.
There are those who kindly label me an expert but since I don't have a marketing department I remain largely anonymous by comparison.
who's to say there isn't another fledgling expert out there somewhere capable of producing what the OP is looking for.
Whether the Op can afford it or not is a matter for them.
