[Mgs] valve adjustment

[riverside at southslope.net]

The crane cams method just about guarantees that the lifter for
the valve you are adjusting is resting on the base circle:

set the intake valve when that valve's exhaust partner is JUST starting to 
open
set the exhaust valve when that valve's intake partner is ALMOST closed.

If you ever get to fool around with an OHC motor, you can view the wisdom of
this method

Subject: [Mgs] valve adjustment

I am having difficulty trying to adjust the valve on #6 rocker on my "78 
MGB. I have replaced the rocker itself, but it is still noisy. Something  I 
have tried is to slide a feeler gauge into the gap while the engine is 
running. That quiets it to a normal level. Could it be a worn valve, tappet, 
cam lobe? The big question is whether I should pull the head at this point 
to investigate further? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam
