I have got a au2 xrs vct i recently changed the lash adjusters as they were rattling and i forgot to fill the new ones with oil, when i started the car it ran but the lifters were very noisy so after a week without driving the car i decided to remove the rocker cover and fill the lash adjusters with oil through the little hole above them, while i was doing that i decided to paint the rocker cover.
The next day when it was fully dry i bolted it back on and when i attempted to start the engine it ran for a couple of seconds then died and then whenever i attempted to start the engine it makes a clicking noise then nothing happens. I noticed the battery was fairly low and has now gone dead, possibly from attempting to start the car. Besides the battery what could have possible happened, i plan to pull the rocker cover off again coming weekend. While noisy he engine ran fine after my first attempt at replacing the lash adjusters, all i had done on my 2nd attempt was fill with oil through the oil hole above them. Any help with finding what could be wrong would be appreciated, Im not a mechanic but im fairly mechanically enclined, im stumped as to what he problem is. |

Step 1. Replace battery
Step 2. If it's still not fixed, THEN start worrying.

agree at least charge battery although if it went flat that easily you should replace it

Replace the battery and remove all spark plugs,turn motor with full throttle so the injectors stop working,do this half a minuet interval about five times to bleed the lash adjusters and the fit plugs and start it.Once you have wormed engine hold rpm to 2500 for about a minuet
