PAUL! If I am ever on that side of the pond I will buy you a pint my friend. I put a washer on it, I need to get a copper washer rather than a steel one. And I was extra careful making sure the tensioner was just perfect, about 1mm out and it fired up and was back to its old normal smooth sounding self, took her out for five miles and she was her normal self. So it seems that little washer was causing the ruckus and the chain will need replacing soon because it is stretched.
Thanks Paul, 5twins, Twomany, Hein, Angus and Brian for all the help, I couldnt have done it without your guys help, seriously I cant get the grin on my face knowing that she is up and running again.
All that is left is some timing on the points and recheck the valve clearances once I take it around the block successfully but it seems like its out of the woods.
