Oh, photos of the"stuff". I don't think there should be any. Everything should be immaculate. I use brake cleaner and an air line to clean everything after washing in kero.

The knock was there when the rocker assembly was removed, right?

Just reading back through the posts , when it was running did you try it with fan belt removed to isolate any bearing probs on water pump / alternator , loose pulley wheels

Tappet assemblies?
I'm rebuilding my Series IIA's 2.25 petrol engine - rebored to +0.020", polished crank with new std bearings etc. I'm fitting a new cam but can't decide what to do about the tappets. The old parts are in good shape with little wear. Should the brass slides have a grey coating on the concave...

ok i will double check the liner tomorrow.
Yes, but only when i held down the pushrods and spun it with a drill. where the speed became so great that i couldnt quite hold the whole assembly tight anymore.
yes i have and it did not amount to anything.Just reading back through the posts , when it was running did you try it with fan belt removed to isolate any bearing probs on water pump / alternator , loose pulley wheels
thanks for the read. seems bearing surfaced tappets do exist. though ālaterā is a bit superficial in the thread. this is a 2a engine.result

i put it at 25mm. so 0.10 inch. i just read the pic. so i DID put the lash correctly. again, maybe one just needed an extra turnā¦.
so plan for tomorrow then will be, check the top of the cam lobes. if good, reinstall the rocker assembly and put it on 20 mills. any ideas to replicate the engine running without having to run it? probably just put the flywheel on and run it with the starter no?
i think we can rule it likely that i have one tappet which is ticking. the speed of it is so slow that its likely only one tappet.
