This sounds reasonable. If the lifters are too tight, then when the motor
heats up they will kepp the valves open and the idle will fall.
This is a fairly serious thing, since the valve seats will burn quickly if
they never fully close. TR6s are clattery beasts; perfectly silent valves
indicate an overtight setup. Use the old screw-driver method with the valve
cover off the motor. If you dončt hear any clacking at all, just a general
wearing noise then the lifters are definitely too tight.
Good luck
