    Default "slight" misfire.

    since owning the white one it has head the head gasket done, new cam belt, leads, plugs, cap and rotor arm. after this it was genuinely the sweetest running nova engine ive ever heard, so much so that it didnt even pop and bang on over run any more
    however about a week ago it started to pop and bang again so i knew something was up but it still ran fine so it didnt bother me, now on the way home tonight it developed a misfire and even stalled on me so i whipped the dizzy cap off to be greeted with this





    not best pleased considering they aren't even a thousand miles old yet, quite impressed by the pin being punched through the cap though
