Re: Rattling fuel pump pushrod tube
Indeed they ARE! See photos (found on the web)
It would make sense if one of them had become loose. Could easily be the sound I heard.
Anyone have had that experience?

Re: Small spanner in crankcase??
Admiral! Thats it! There can be no doubt. Seeing that rod and loose tube fits perfectly to the sound I hear. And also makes sense because I had the top off a month ago - and was a bit confused as to...

Small spanner in crankcase??
No. It could not be. BUT ever so often - now and then - i hear a very gentle metallic hammering sound. Like at tiny soft hammer binging on a cast aluminium bell some where inside engine. Only...

Re: Compression: Look. Could there be a problem?
This is a 60 2.2 litre french flathead 1953. High revs is flat out. Idle bit uneven but ok - acellerating ok. Strangely when closing the points gap to a minimum - engine will run quite better.
