Tonight I called in a favour and after a long drive in the country, I've got my hands on a set of tools and shims.
If you're all nice to me I might write up the valve adjustment process :)

Pete
are you planning on going solid lifter? :)
Already have :)
Pete
Just made a leakdown tester as per the above link.
All cylinders test at 10% with no cam fitted so it's looking good.:banana:
Now to refit the cam, adjust tappets and retest compression.
Pete
150 PSI on all 4 cylinders now:DancingLine:
We're back in business now!
Pete
Great result :) Question is, how did one tappet suddenly close between the dyno run and home, at about the same time as the clutch shat itself?Quote:

Hey Pete 150 on all 4 I bet that's a relief. ..... Geoff
Most likely scenario is that I did something wrong.:emo_baghead:Quote:

There's a lesson to be learnt here about taking shortcuts.
That sort of very low comp should have shown up on the dyno though so another theory might be that the seat wasn't properly seated and got hammered in on the dyno, but it's more probable that I just effed up.

great result Pete! Very relieved for you!
