never thought I would sit through 30 mins of technical video - loved it. Ok - i fast forwarded a little once I got the hang of what you were doing. But as I am mechanically seriously disadvantaged and know nothing about engines this was a real education. Thanks :-)
Love video and your terminology, brill. The noise sounds like exhaust resonating against floor or chassis member. Always thought tappets were adjusted when engine is cold...perhaps triumphs, jags, daimler are different from the rover.
They should always be adjusted hot. With side valve engines you can start the engine and insert an old feeler gauge above the spring, and if the ticking stops, you know that rocker the gap is too large.
Nice, but I also understood that the clearance should be checked with a cold engine, as in theory the clearance should be zero with a hot engine. The metal shrinks when the engine is cold, hence the clearance. But in this case I’m obviously wrong ..🤔
Hi Alex another enjoyable vlog your vlogs have convinced me to sell my modern car which I’ve done and purchase a classic looking for a p6 keep them vlogs coming all the best 👍
My friend Liz wants one too now because of me haha . I picked this one up at the NEC restoration show last year or year before. Was only about £20. Don't know what size it is, but it fits me over a jumper and I'm size 14/16 . Keep looking. X
@@AgathaAndAnything 20/50 is a bit thick really. Apparently 3 in 1 has an abrasive in it ? And can over a long time cause damage to the carb? Only one person told me this, so don't take my word for it. ATF seems to be a nice one to use x

Haha fantastic! I'm glad you were entertained and educated at the same time 🥰

1yr later And I have still not found out what the noise is.... lol

Really good video Alex, I have never adjusted tappits before but this is invaluable info. Thanks 🙂
I could listen to you all day long, loved the wet fluff, sounded a bit risky it was that wet! Lol 😂 💚
great video, that engine is like a work of art
Thankyou Alex I loved this amazing seeing the tappets in action moving i learned stuff too its a lovely engine for sure
I'm glad you enjoyed this one 😊 . It is really interesting seeing it at work.
So much innuendo in this video 😂
you've got that fabulous Rover coat on again! Love it

Brilliant video again, really enjoyed it Alex. 😉👍
Another great video. I would remove the fanbelt and then run the engine to see if your noise disappears. It sounds like a loose pulley somewhere.
My mate says it's the Dynamo 🤔 . I must investigate further. I've had her doing it since may haha .
fascinating video, thanks for sharing.
Very informative video 👍
Not long had it off 💩 oohhh matron 👍
Some leave the gauge under the tappet while they adjust. So that's quicker!
I always Find I can't get the gauge back out 😂
Hi Alex just watched this video 8/22 that sounds like a loose timing chain rattling against a timing cover
Sorry for late reply 👌😅
Recall the "magic" number is 7: you deal with #6 and #1; then #5 and #2; then #4 and #3. And the reverse!
Oh I forgot to say I like your Rover dust coat. I've been after one for years but all the ones that turn up are always too small.
My friend Liz wants one too now because of me haha . I picked this one up at the NEC restoration show last year or year before. Was only about £20. Don't know what size it is, but it fits me over a jumper and I'm size 14/16 . Keep looking. X
there's always one !
What have I done now ? 😱
Think he meant there’s always 1 a mile out of adjustment?
@@AgathaAndAnything I thought I was "the one" lol
Never thought of using ATF I was told 3in1 oil but I had none so used 20/50 in Agatha 😂

By the way is your grille 100 badge made of plastic or enamel please?
Plastic x it's a replacement purchased from the P4 Guild x
Hi is there a way to contact you on priv?
You can find me on Facebook ?
Plug suppressors missing ??
I don't understand what you mean?
@@Alexsassets Some on Ebay right now. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184525570136
Interesting.... What do these do/what are the benefits?
@@Alexsassets Done properly, better spark, stops radio interference.
@@Hensen1954 they may not benefit me much as I have silicone leads now (not copper) and no radio .
