[QUOTE="brian gains, post: 167802, member: 3153"] my Comet suffered from intermittent smoking bouts which I put down to a tired engine. having looked into the timing cover for another un associated reason i found some small segments of steel elliptical swarf at the bottom of the case. spent some time cogitating on where this could have come from due to distinct appearance, after some general firkling i found the E80 on the half time pinion had all but stripped due to over tightening?. replaced , tightened, punch fixed and no more issues. regarding securing the E80 there are thems that punch, and others that swear by just loctite.
