Right heres the problem's!!

1) when the engines ideling its revs at bout 600-700 Rpm or could be lower but when i put the clutch down in netural the revs drop the oil light goes on then off, then it goes back to normal when the clutch is down.

2) some times if i rev the engine hard say to 5000rpm the revs come down then the engine cuts out. Then when i try to start it again its like iv got a flat battery like the engine realy tight. Then i try and again and it goes first time. Most the time it starts fine its only like when the pistons are in a certain place it does it.

its started doing it since the head been skimmed about 20-30thou.

I say its some thing to do with the Spark timing would anyone agree??

either the spark timing and/or the cam timing. check the pullies is lined up correctly with the markings on the casings.

Rite iv had a look at it today. with the engine ideling iv moved the dizzy both ways but nothing seams to change no rev drop or gain or anything. do you have to have some revs when changing it or somthing.

Maybe im doing it wrong which is about right for me lol.

Also which way do you turn it to advance it??

you turn it backwards. basically turn it back a little from where it originally was, do it back up and take it for a drive and see if its better
