  ANSWER (2)  
 

Examining the camshaft and rockers showed that some of the cam followers on the steel rockers were badly worn in only a small mileage, they have been replaced with new from the Vintage Bentley Spares scheme. Also, the camshaft bearings have been critically examined and refitted, and the top bevels re-meshed to the correct tolerances.

Now I will set the tappets and hope it is quieter. Will let you know.

  ANSWER (1)  
 

It depends on what engine you are running a early 3 with spade rockers is going to be a little noisy. If it is on rollers and is very noisy it might be time to take out the cam and inspect it. If it is worn, then it is time for a new cam and new roller rockers.
