I now have the thing started ( quite well to ) it ticks over quietly but as soon as you pull the throttle back it makes a horrible noise.I have checked the tappets again and although they have set ok the pushrods seem to have quite a bit of play in them,could the cams be 'nacked ?
The noise is not like a rumbling but a more severe rocker noise from that area.
Could the big end be gone ?? rockers shot ??
Any thoughts much welcome. cheers.
