1. [TR] Fall in to the GAP (score: 1): Author: richhalpern@comcast.net; Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 18:43:38 +0000; Hey folks, Last weekend I adjusted the gap on my valves on the TR4. Got it all done...new gasket, etc. I still have a slight tap. Is this a native sound for the TRactor motor to have a slight tap, or; /html/triumphs/2006-03/msg00702.html (7,786 bytes)
2. Re: [TR] Fall in to the GAP (score: 1): Author: Dave1massey@cs.com; Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 14:01:34 EST; You're best bet is an alloy valve cover. Rocker noise is not uncommon in these motors but don't try to minimize it by reducing the clearance. But follow the book procedure as closely as you can (i.e.; /html/triumphs/2006-03/msg00705.html (8,339 bytes)

If you adjust the tap all the way out you will probably burn a valve as it won't be closing completely. Yes, it is a native sound for a; /html/triumphs/2006-03/msg00712.html (8,729 bytes)

If there is lash, it will make a little noise when the lifter closes up the gap. And it's essential to always have _some_ lash, under all con; /html/triumphs/2006-03/msg00715.html (8,622 bytes)

Hydraulic lifters need a direct supply of pressurized oil, and there are no such oil holes in the TR blocks.

I had sort of assumed that the H lifters were just using some sort of leaky non-return valve that let them take up the slack.
