A friend brought his MGA over because he said the engine made a rattling noise. Like marbles in the engine.
He told me that he just had the engine rebuilt and has had this noise since.
After listening to it it has some serious noises. They don't seem to sound like rods or crank bearings. However it does sound like a cam rattle and or valve train. Thought I would adjust the valves just to be sure. They were slightly loose but adjusting them didn't help.
I guess my question is:
Is the cam chain adjuster automatic or can it be manually adjusted? Does anyone have any ideas on upper noises an MGA might make?
I have a TR3 and am not familiar with the particulars of the MGA.
