Superb Steve - I'm so glad it fixed the missfire - you'd have been well pissed off if it only ran on two cylinders  :wave:

Now take the head off again - skim another 50 thou off and go racing  :lol:

RussellT:

Well done. :nrocks: :nrocks: :nrocks:

..I really can't see how any form of accurate adjustment could possibly be achieved with the engine running..


This used to be the method for adjusting the tappets on at least one type of Bedford engine way back in the 40-50s.

I never had to do it, but apparently the idea was to slacken off the lock nut then,  with the feeler guage inserted,  turn down the adjusting screw until the 'tapping' stopped. then tighten up the lock nut.
I assume that when you had done them all you stopped the engine and checked the tightness of the nuts.

Possibly that is why some one invented hydraulic adjusters.

Sounds very awkward.  but I am assured it works.

Dave.

DavidA:
No matter how many times I've heard it,  that 'first time' sound of an engine I have re-built never fails to give me a warm glow and a very silly grin.

Nice job.
