Been in the back of my mind since we talked about it a while ago Dunc , thought with the motor idling leak down would'nt be a problem , seems to get worse when the lash maxes out when hot.

Glad you all like the vid since it was my first.
Perhaps a Tarantino theme for the next one

I was so glad that the beast roared into life with no major problems.
A great achievement Adam well done mate.
Not sure I want to be the first to launch it off the line mind.
Reminded me of my mates mad Alsatian.
Its tail annoyed it so much bit it right off

Not lifters then?

Yep.

These lifters have an oil hole all the way through & up to the lifter cup.

Set the lash to zero on int/ex on # 1 cylinder , primed motor & saw very little leak down compared to the other 14 lifters that were pi$$ing out oil , removed these two lifters & plugged one side of oil hole (gallery side) , installed lifters , set lash as before (.015/.017) , primed motor , the leakdown between lifter cup/PR was minimal due to the oil having to travel around lifter & into oil way up to cup , bearing in mind the lifter to lifter bore clearance is around .002".

The shanks on those 5mm alluminium rivets are just the job , no scoring to lifter when you machine em flat to the face of lifter body.
