<p class="MsoNormal">Do you know of a source for a wire feeler gauge with 0.015” or 0.010”? I’ve looked, couldn’t find any. It seems the wire gauges are designed for plug gapping, and minimums are ~0.02”</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Could be those rockers. They can wear in the center where the push rods make<br>
contact making a measurement with a flat feeler gauge inaccurate.<br>

Subject: [TR] Valve train noise<br>
<br>
Folk, a couple of years ago I did a total rebuild of my TR4 engine. It has<br>
been running well but has the valves do make more noise than I experienced<br>
in the past . Checking the valve clearance it is spot on. Once the engine<br>
has been running for 30 to 45 minutes the noise is much louder.<br>
Oil pressure is solid at 30 to 70 PSI. Engine temp stays at 170 (f). Oil is<br>
20-50 Valvoline Racing Oil. <br>
The rockers are from my spare engine. Head had all new valves (Stainless)<br>
and New bronze guides which were reamed with a bit more tolerance. Re ground<br>
cam and new lifters. <br>
Any suggestions on tracking down the cause of the noise?<br>
<br>
Bob Nogueira <br>
