Whip the rocker cover off and check clearances and that the valve stem things are still in place. Called them things because their name eludes me at the mo.
Hi mate yeah I’ve done all my valve clearances and bought all new valve caps the valve clearsnce is set at 0.20mm and still noisey I don’t know if that’s just the sound of that specific engine mate I don’t know how to upload the video I have of it on here as I’m new to this!
How did you set the valves? rule of 9?
What thickness of head gasket did you use?
Not too sure mate I didn’t fit personally my friend did
Ask him as there are different thickness gaskets available.
Easy enough to check the valve clearances yourself, take a look on youtube.
