Forum member "Mark" came over to have a listen of my engine today,
at first it ran quietly then the tapping started
,
we took the rocker cover off & found 1 almighty loose rocker arm, well it wasn,t so much that the arm was loose, but the cam follower was obviously not working as it was no effort to push the rocker in either direction, unlike all the others, so in a way a good result as it was quick & easy to identify the issue.
So............ straight onto "fleabay" & i,ve ordered a full set ( 8) cam followers, brand new, but the best part is the cost
..................
£19.99 plus £5.99 postage......great bargain indeed for all 8
Thanks for your help Mark
cheers
