So Much Quieter!

Post by alanworland »

The Morris wasn't noisy but having just replaced the crank shells and the tining chain it now runs like a sewing machine!
I think most of the noise was coming from the timing chain allowing the camshaft to clatter round as there was quite a bit of 'backlash' in the drive.
The shells and chain have done about 80000. The shells were starting to break up and the chain was just worn out!
