Sounds like I would be advised to return the valve train to standard specification.
I’m not interested in performance from this Austin, more about reliability.
Plan is to put the engine back together with the revised bush restraint then see if the knocks gone.
Then consider engine rebuild when the performance / oil usage gets excessive.
I’m learning a lot about these engines in the process. So far I’m impressed with the simplicity and ease of access. I’ll be really impressed if I get it going again!!
