I've solved the noisy tappet problem by setting them as described by Dom!
Now, a weird problem has raised it's head and I haven't touched anything, honest!
It starts straight away and revs at 1800 Rpm with the air screw tirned right down on the plenum.
As the engine warms, it wants to cut out all the time as you try and rev it.
I have a wideband fuel mixture gauge and it is reading 8-9, way too rich.
I lowered the fuel pressure to 20psi and it now revs cleaner and the gauge is running 11ish.
Fuel pressure should be 36 ish I believe but at that pressure it wants to cut out all the time.
Suggestions?
I have another car here so I may change the AFM.

Your car is screaming out for a fully mapable ecu and coil packs! Come on get it sorted..... Best money you can spend now
You're dead right!All I have to do is make a bit of money this summer then sort it.
I fancy an emerald.
Just tweaked the fueling and it really does go.
Took out a standard 5.0 just after and although the 5.0 had plenty of power, my 4.6 feels that much more lively and urgent, better then at Shakey
