|I have recently purchased a 1995 Estrella, an import from Japan it is in good condition and I am enjoying it.
I also bought a spare engine that was on ebay. I have started rebuilding this engine. I have noticed the following problems:
1 Camchain wear
2 severe wear on camshaft itself
3 severe wear on both rockers
I noticed that the valve springs seem very strong?? (I also own a 1934 6cyl Wolseley with a 1600cc OHC Each bore works out at 266cc. so about the same as Estrella but the springs are about half the strength).
Could this be a reason why the Estrella suffers from excessive problems with wear in the valve train?

The reason for the cam / rocker arm wear is the following:

• non-ideal material pairing for given load/ lift acceleration (arm should get hard block)
• too low or zero oil pressure at speeds below 3000/4000 rpm with hot / thin oil
• if clearance is too high wear increases rapidly (if too small exhaust valve prone to failure)
• spring needs to be so strong due to accel loads induced by profile type

Many thanks, would you therefore advise the use of fully synthetic oil? cheers, Geoff

Use modern oil with highest viscosity you can get. I.e. 20W-50 oder 10W-60.
