Hi all,
        I have just bought a fully restored 1970 2000 sports. The car is
perfect except for, what I consider, noisey cam chains. I plan to remove the
rocker cover and take a look to see what could possibly be wrong, but first
would like to see if anyone can help with one or two questions.

I know that the cylinder head has had some taken off the bottom surface,
because of this I intend to place a shim under the tensioner. Has any one
had any experience with this?? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I have noticed that the two studs in the timing chain cover have been
replaced with bolts. Does this mean that I can get the cover off without
lifting the head?? What a bonus this would be!!!

Does any know what the tappet settings for a cold motor are??

This is my first try at this mailing list, I hope that these are not too
"frequently asked questions"

                                All the best, Brian.
