At first I think I was a tooth out.( It's easy to do, the marks are not exact)
It ran really bad and noisy till I re timed the belt, It runs much better now but, there is a knocking noise; like a really noisy tappet makes.
So it's head off and, replace the damaged parts or....head off to a dealer to buy a replacement car. By the time I've done that and sold on my tank I could have repaired her.
Thanks for all the helpful replies, much appreciated. Ken

Speak to Luke (360beast) i think he has some B200F parts around at the moment. Whichever way you do it, you'll need to shim the valves that will be changed and if you're changing one or two valves on #3, you may as well clean and lap the other valves as well and check all the clearances. Little tip - don't fit the hushers until you've checked/adjusted the clearances as they can contribute to incorrect readings.
