    13 presses against 8 there a notch in 8 which acts as an a locking type thingy, I will stretch the spring to give more adjustment.

    I will have a look tomorrow, just going to change the screw it could of worn down and not hold the adjuster in place and stretch the spring and also valve clearance, just got the proper tool kit through with every thing needed to do that including feeler gauge and rocker adjuster holder, really hand little tool kit. I could be talking rubbish as well but see what happens tomorrow

    Got a new adjuster screw and going to stretch the spring abit and see if that helps tomorrow, It's semi auto adjusting meaning I have remove part number 13 and turn the engine over twice then replace the screw and the spring takes the slack up.

    My t80 has got a ratterly cam chain I adjusted and then 2 days later it's slack again the engines only 12,400 miles and don't think it needs changing. Some body told the adjuster screw could need replacing and then give the adjuster spring a slight stretch to sort, does this sound right
