Thanks for the replies,
this transit has had an unleaded head fitted on, the rockers are different to a similar age transit i had before and are not the same as a mk 2 transit,
i noticed on the rocker cover today a sticker saying adjust valves to .020 and .025, so adjusted as said and it dosent sound to clever , any advice please

You're not confusing your thou's with your mm's are you?

8 thousandths of an inch is .020mm and 10 thou is .025mm

If you're setting them to 20 and 25 thousandths of an inch instead of .020 and .025 millimeters, that's a massive gap and it wouldn't sound too clever.
