This email turned up on our club website. I've sent John details about
the alpines list, but can anyone help him out in the meantime? Replies
directly to John.pidgeon(at)tesco.net please.
Cheers,
Paul.

I own a Sunbeam Alpine series 3 and am having diffaculty with the valve
train, When I
 got the car it was in peices and was mixed up with several other Rootes
products the
 concquences are that when I came to put the rockers together I find a
gap of approx
 1/4 inch between the center brass oil feed and the rocker shafts.I know
that the
 cast iron head has the same set up but as all the shafts I have are the
same lenth
 if the brass center piece was longer on the ally heads, does anybody
have any clues
 ??? I am
