That could be worth a go the tappets are getting louder now there hydraulic as well so I can't do a valve clearances too reduce, the gutless performance is a bit of a worry.

I'm pretty confident I know what it Is from personal experience with these cars at the same time I'm also thinking of a possibly a valve train issue which does happen and it can lead too a engine build due too vales not preforming as they should.

No blue smoke yet, But I will be keeping an eye on this.

They have a place in Trafford park Manchester, I took my old ones in & they made a pair there & then and I never had a problem again.


They were even cheaper & better quality than getting OEM ones from the states.


Pic of when I was re-building it in the early 90's.
