Hi Mike
I'm happy with the cam timing. I've verified TDC is as per the flywheel mark and the cam timing mark also seems correct. Starts first time and sounds sweet enough.

Hi Ozzie
The turbo thing looks like a different beast altogether. But thanks for the offer of advice - I'll consider anything at the moment.

The amount of time I've spent on this thing and I can assure you that +10 comes before 0 on the flywheel, therefore +10 is BTDC. If you add 10 on to the 0 on the flywheel it will reach that ... |

Hi Guys
I've not made much progress due to the fact the damn thing wouldn't start! Turns out that I had a repeat of the same problem that plagued the car about a year ago - the plugs are knackered ... |

Hi Smoothie
Interesting comment. When the system pressurised, you can move the plunger easily - just how much resistance would you expect?

Hi Jaf
Yes it does sound like a similar problem. The metering head was second hand - new ones are hellishly expensive. However the control plunger moves up and down real sweet so I can't see it b ... |

Hi guys
3 years IS a long time. I checked when the road tax ran out and it was 07/03 - yikes! It's kind of a running joke that lost its humour a long time ago. For me anyway. Everyone thinks it ... |
