Re: Engine Hour Survey

I currently have 1.2 on my MMI rebuilt A4 Delivered in March 2008 and Installed This June 2008. Not sure how many she had pre- MMI rebuild but she started on the second try and has run well ever since. There is a pronounce what I assume to be a valve tick that I am hoping will go away as I break the engine in gently. Does anyone have any insight to offer about this high end (up in the engine head) ticking? My old engine sounded the same/similar but did not sound as pronounced. Will more MMO squirted into the cylinders help? Also the engine seems to smoke (blue)more and I am hoping this will subside as I go through the MMI break-in process. I look forward to any and all replies!

Chris
