Cheers Ruairidh & Austin , looking at the 'Build Sheet' it definitely states the cam was "re-profiled" & I'm sure , but can't find any reference to the cam followers either being re-ground/replaced ???
Also, when checking the noise from the valve area I found at least one valve with a gap in excess of 0.030". It was also fitted with a Silicon block/crankcase gasket, which I guess is much thicker than the paper gasket used in the past. Currently the car is not accessible, but early in the New Year I will rearrange the workshop and check , and report my findings.
Austin inthe Shed, what did this tool look like ? as I may be able to replicate, if ??? the bronze guides are too high . Cheers.
