Well sincei got my car back from the garage after the helicoil was inserted my K7M lump was tapping like Hoe. So spent an hour doing the gaps on saturday. I set the inlets to 0.1 and the exhausts to 0.3. Much quieter now, no longer sounds like a diesel. Its not perfect though. Sound fine when the pedels to the metal but when i get off the gas it seems to rattle a little. Just wondered if the gaps could do with being a little bit tighter.

Any Thoughts

P.S. All valves got replaced after the recent cam belt failure.
