[ROVERNET - UK] more servo woes

[Paul Smith]

P4s tend to be noisy with tappets, and yes it is best to set them warm (but you get burnt on the exhaust taking the sidecover off).
Note the roller followers on the 100; when did the rest of the world catch up?

PVS

Steve and Peter,
I did get my Mk. II Girling booster on the P4 today. 
 Before I installed it, I took the back cover off and 
worked the piston numerous times until it finally returned 
without encouragement.  Installed the booster on the car 
and the brakes don't lock up, so maybe it is working.  I 
drove the car around the parking lot.  The engine seems 
too noisy.  I can't remember what Steve's 100 sounded 
like, but this one may need the valves adjusted.  It is 
quiet when cold and then ticks when warm.

Roverly,
Kent K.
