Gavin,

If you have an exhaust valve that=E2=80=99s not opening completely, then =
you get exhaust through the intake valve when it opens. Check your valve =
adjustment.

Hi Gavin,

Have not encountered that problem with a Healey 6 but have several times =
with MGB's.

It usually turned out to be a broken valve spring or sticking valve...

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
