My TR3 makes quite a clatter but it is quite composed at idle. I'm thinking
the DPO who "overhauled" it used the old chain so I am going to install a new
chain and tensioner in the hopes that that fixes it. But I won't know for
another year or so.
You could try an alloy rocker cover but that would be 5 points off, at least.
