I reported on this forum last weekend my success in cleaning out 552 burner and removing lint trapped in filter. This cured a yellow burning flame - very pleased with result EXCEPT:-
I am getting a lot of expansion clicking and ticking now from what I reckon is the burner when cycling on and off. I am never sure just how much to tighten up the 2 nuts which secure the RHS end plate onto the burner outer sleeve. The sleeve sits on dished rims on the end plates and you can go on tightening up the nuts and expanding the ends of outer sleeve until it might get damaged (this version here does not have gaskets). The nuts usually are found loose on well burnt in burners. I am sure the expansion noises are coming from these nuts not being set correct??
Can anyone offer advice please?
