RE: TR3,, engine noises,,,

Did you refurbush the rocker arms in the head and use a new rocker shaft.  The 
end of the rokerarms can become very indented or "peened" into a concave hole 
where the tip of the valve rides.  This makes it very difficult if not 
impossible to set the gap with a flat feeler gauge.   A machine shop can 
"dress" up the surfaces or you buy new ones.

I had mine redone and ajusting the valves now is a short "piece-of-cake" 
job... and proper valve tappet noise.
