did you release the chain tensioner by pressing it down on a slid object or use a suitable lever when it was fitted ?

Piper cams do give a nosiy tickover, due to the way they are modified, I normally add a small shim under every hydraulic lifter to compensate

Oh wow ok thank you i didn't realise that it was abit tricky but yeah I did manage to release the tensioner once fitted when I got the cams there was a bag of small washer/shims but I couldn't find out what they were for thank you

One more quick question I may of misplaced the spacer/shims that came with the cams so if I need to replace them what sizes/dimensions do I need tia
