Gutted for you Edd - so near to an almost perfect Sport and disrupted by what will no doubt be something stupid and electrical!Originally Posted by Edd
Nova tat
indeed, complete and utter tat
plugs got soaked in petrol, so im guessing that's me needed a new set
i will sort it tho
That's my pulley
As you can see its set with the pointer on the large original notch
But there is a notch on the outside of the pulley
I'm guessing that one is for unleaded petrol???
I'm on the verge of taking it to garage now
Why not just have a play with adjusting the timing each way - and see if it makes any difference... if it does, you know that will be the answer?
What would that be a tooth over on the cambelt? Gotta be worth a try.
As far as I am aware there should only be a notch on the inside of the pulley. Will double check mine for you if you like?
What petrol it is running should not alter the cam timing. Only the distributor needs adjusting for differing petrol, although mine has not been adjusted since changing to super unleaded. Was told by my old Motorsport engine builder that as long as it runs ok don't touch it as petrol these days is so much better.
did post a pic on the other thread.
definately worth checking cam timing is not out.
What's pissing me off is
- Cam belt timed up with no1 at tdc and pulley notch in line with pointer
- Ignition timing set with a gun with notch and pointer lined up
That should be job done
