Even when the tappets are adjusted correctly, you'll probably find that they'll be a bit noisy :-/ , yeah it's quite normal for greys. You'll probably also find that there's some gudgeon knock/rattle at idle. I guess that being a 1930's/40's design engine has it's drawbacks, but they're a pretty good ol' lump :D Cheers, Graham |
