Rover Sports Register Forum

Good evening I’ve been investigating a worrying engine knock
While preparing to remove the cylinder head on my 1935 14hp (6 cylinder) I removed the tappet cover and luckily (very luckily!) spotted a cam follower socket at a “jaunty” angle. The top was loose. (See photos). Has anyone had a similar experience?
My brief investigations suggest that this is not uncommon and that there are (same part number) improved designs.

I missed the photos, but maybe this would help:

Hi Chris,
I wrote an article on this problem ,with drawings. in Freewheel October 2016 No379. This may help you. Regards Tony.

Thank you Tony - it sounds like your article will help - unfortunately I cannot get the RSR website to display it.

I’ll keep trying.
