I got my tappets done in the end - But the tappets were very badly adjusted, and the gap was 0, a couple were even slightly pushing the exhaust valves open :O

But now they are set correct, they make a horrendous noise, so either they have done some damage being set incorrectly, or they were set to 0 to stop some of the noise... Either way, i'm gonna have to set them back to 0 this weekend.
