    Re: valve adjustment

    Hi, Not sure where to get the info from " other than a good old haynes " but from what you have described, it could be a hydraulic lifter failing, a worn camshaft or follower, or even a noisy injector. To compensate for a cam, follower, or lifter, by taking up the gap, is at best a very temporary solution to an engines demise.

    Proceed with caution old mate.
