Broken tappet
bomber:
Cam chain tensioner slider needs replacing, screw is a bit dodgy, tried to wiggle it around it kind of work but plastic has deep grooves and shows cracks.
Trigger, would you scrape carbon deposit and re set valves? Please explain what do you mean by checking, do you mean piston, bore and rings check? As far as I know you need spacial micro meters which I dont have.
Any advice much appreciated.

Trigger:
Pop the valves out, and make sure you remove the two washers under the springs. And soda blast the head, clean the valves up and check for any pitting on them. Lap them back in with with a bit of grinding paste, new valve stem seal. Sounds easy but, if you don't know what your doing. Then don't do it.
LesterPiglet:
If you leave the valves in you can clean the chambers with a wire brush on a drill.
