Kev's valve made QUITE the ruckus, it could be out of adjustment not very much at all, but be very noticeable when the engine is running.

For many months we called my car the Klackard. That went away once the one wayward valve was adjusted correctly.

These lifters do not use a lock nut like the older model, just an interference fit adjuster. So they can get loose over time. You only need two wrenches and a feeler gauge to adjust them as opposed to 3 wrenches like on the previous engines.

I was sure this was all caused by the Bendix Treadle Vac. Could you please check again.
