So I got bored and done the tappets today, and now it sounds worse done 0.3 exhaust & 0.2 inlet.Wet sanded my rocker cover while it was off, still need to polish it, and finished bogging the rear guard, not my best work but it will get me through rego.

That is sadly common! I think they wear a goove in the rocker or valve as they shrink the gap and then re-setting them causes them to 'jump' over the groove they have worn.

 

Both mine are like that.

 

Nice alloys, good to see its slowly coming on.

Yeah 2 of the tappets are worn and are making all the racket, so I'm going to go one down on the feeler gauges and see if that fixes the problem.

Got motivated today and lowered the rear to match the front, used some shocks I had out of my wagon (which are shorter) to keep the springs captive cut about 1.5 coils out of the rear and 2 out of the front.I also changed my wiper arms as the old ones where rusty and bent.Also I managed to get another tyre on myself with a bit of difficulty and now it looks heaps better.Got some new points too but got the wrong ones got denso instead of bosch so have to take them back and exchange for the right ones.

 

With the new rims before lowering the rear.

Standard ae/ke sedan shocks (longer one), standard ae/ke wagon shocks.
