Finally helicoiled my inlet manifold to get the carb secure and also done the valve clearances while I was there.
All was good when idling, engine sounded much quieter.. Untill I drove it!!
Drove round the block, first corner I got to, it became very hesitant, and a loud nocking is now coming from somewhere!! :(
Didnt have time to see where its coming from as I had to go to work.
I hope no swarf has crept in from the inlet but I was v.careful!!
If I didnt tighten one of the nuts up tight enough when doing tappets, would anything like this happen??
