Willie Posted July 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Rocker shims at 0.010" thickness can be obtained from Moss [part TT1018C]. I obtained shims at The Bearing Company sized at at 17 x 24 x 0.1 and 0.5mm Further work to check oil feed to whole rocker assembly to be carried out on Sunday. I'll update after that.

Motorsport Mickey Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 2 hours ago, monty said: Sounds like that is the solution Mick. Is it a straightforward job to do? Yep takes about an hour. There are hardened shim washers which fit each end of the tubes between the rockers so the rocker arm spacing is tightly controlled, but still has space to expand with the heat.

Willie Posted July 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Rocker shaft removed and opened up, pushrods examined and then everything restored. Tappets set cold and engine run without cover to check oil dispersal along rocker shaft. No issue, but still got a bit of a tickety rattle which I will live with until /if it gets worse.

Nigel C Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Willie, check the your push rods. top cups and bottom balls are sometimes separate items and work loose. I've had a couple happily tapping away and thought it was the tappets for ages Also, do you have any shims left over from your building on the rocker shaft. I have the same set up but ran out of shims and have to much moment/wold like to close them up and they're on back order with MOSS etc Happy to buy and pay postage?

james christie Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Nigel please let those of us who also have tappety rattles know how you get on and deal with the problem. In 51 years of TR ownership this is something I have never tackled. It’s an age thing I believe, one gets less tolerant as the years roll on! james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
