[QUOTE="MartinRestorer, post: 5559, member: 567"] Hi Stuart I would agree with Peter. If not insuficiant oil supply, the two faces of metal are eating each other, as mild steel.I had Gary Robinson from IOW harden tip and reprofile my cams and followers to a mk3 profile he may be the man to send your worn cams and followers to for his assessment of the quality of metal and he could stalite tip and reprofile them as spare reserves.If fault is not first found. Also a thought about your photos of your rocker bearing access to your valve looks tight and damaged do you have enough clearance for the rocker action. I ask this as I am fitting a new head to my comet engine that needed extra material taken out for clearance?Hope you get the carrot [IOM] Im envious as my vincents are far from mobile. Keep us posted Martin [/QUOTE]
