When does it misfire? Does it now do it all the time? Is the engine management light lit? if not is it wired in?

[nova lod.]

Why transplant out a fresh rebuilt engine?

Are the plugs gapped correctly? Does it sound rattly/fooked from top end?

[dan23]

what engine do you have ?

diz cap an rotor arm may be ?
when you took the plugs out did you drop any

[nova lod.]

its a defenetly top end like a rattle when a start reving it a bit ,never dropped anything down the block or that,av done ruffley about 1000 mile maybey no even that from full engine rebuild every thing is new al just have to get stuck in about thro the week and source the problem ,its brand new rottery arm dizzy, leads,plugs etc.just like its running on 3 silinders maybey even 2,hopefully its sumthing stupid thanks again for any suggestions :thumb:
