Nice to see a local car. Not many blown mk 2's around either.

Who did the machine work for the rebuild? I've used humberside engines a few times. Top job and a fast turnaround

I used some sh!t cnuts called stanford engineering? or stamford? But everyone i spoke to said that they were brill so i feel bad giving them bad rep but i know i wont be going back. Humberside engines it is from now on then mate!

 :laugh:

they might be sh!t too but they have done 2 t4 transporter heads for me and took less than a week. he is a dab hand with big v8 stuff too. there's also a blace called forge welding in normanby just the far side of scunny and he does a lot of custom race car work too

Well, here we go.. the first propper update.

I took her to a local dyno centre a couple of days ago to get her set up and the guy was strugling so he thought the cam belt was out' He checked it all today and said it was all spot on! So this means only one thing.... rocker cover off and timing chain must be out!! Which sucks seen as it was re-built a month ago, if it is this the bloke said it was simply imposible to jump a tooth and must have been put on like that. So if it is, the guys that re-built my engine are gonna get a f**king bolocking!
