    Any other thoughts?

    Thats really strange, amybe worth a look to see if there is anything fouling the area the exhaust sits as if its ok when loose and then not when fitted you would like to think its something around this area.

    The exhaust was fine when I started my 2 mile drive yesterday only came partially off when I got into my road and it was only the centre section mount that had snapped (bobbin type) don't think the exhaust is related to it.

    Re: C1J problem - Any advice's welcome

    Well many thanks for the Wizards assistance I have reset the dizzy gear correctly now, flywheel TDC mark lined up with 0 on the gearbox bell housing so that the rota arm now points directly away from the engine. Only downside now is the car will not run now as now not sparking + no fuel pump sounding didn't sound but I am sure I can sort this part out now she is set correctly (TDC lead)


    With reference to how I split a liner this is a combination of things from looking at the liner first thing is I was suffering from Det in cylinder number 2 (liner that went)and from looking at the liner it was rusting from the outside in as there is a rust line on the outside of the liner that looks like rust is eating through it so with the liner being weak and the small det this is what i think has caused the liner to go. I think whom ever had the engine previous to me has just been running it on water for a very very long time I will find the camera and get some pics of it up.

    Not sure what has been causing the Det as yet? Could be faulty AEI vacum

    You must have knocked something when playing if there is no spark as there was before, as for the fuel pump, you not got a dodgy relay have you?

    Fingers crossed your be back sorted very soon and ill pop up for a cuppa and a chat.
