Thanks Trevor :D I've measured them all cold and the intake gaps range from 0.25-0.40 inlet and 0.40-0.70 on the exhaust side,I'll adjust these too the correct gaps which hopefully should quieten down the valve gear noise I'm getting..

The car is running very lumpy on 3 cylinders at the moment,it has good compression on all four so I suspect a fault with the fuel injection system.I gather the fuel system on the turbo2's can be a little tempermental.I trying to source a manual for the car but so far no luck whatsoever... :?

I may have a spare manual, I'll have a look. As Martin says, let's see some pictures.
