First, my sincere apologies for not responding to all your helpful answers. Thank you! I didn't get any notifications of a reply so I assumed there were none! In the meantime, I called Gareth at Norvil (who supplied the timing cover for my friend). He said to check the rocker spindles. If they are scrolled, it's a low pressure oil feed and grub screw stays out. If it has a flat machined on it, it's a high pressure feed and the grub screw is fitted. However, the cover,, although brand new, is not satisfactory. The 5/16" BSF thread in the cover was helicoiled and which disintegrated, leaving the remainder deep in the hole. I had to very carefully grind it out with a carbide burr. I then made a fixture to guide the tapping drill straight and fortunately, the new helicoil works. Also, the cover is not flat. I checked it with some plate glass. And, it's too shallow and squishes the conical seal on the oil pump too much, so I had to make and fit a second gasket to shim the cover out. It will do for the moment, until the original cover comes back from having an anti-wet-sumping valve fitted.
