Bugger i was hoping thats all it was for you.
finally got it running re-torqued head, reset tappets 20/20, new spark plugs, new dizzy + rota arm not sure which one cured it. Took it for a quick spin and all good bar a sticky accelerator cable and my side exit centre bobbin had split so exhaust now hanging apart from that all hunky dorey.
Good stuff james.Is it not 20/ 15 with the tappets or did you fancy a change? You never know what was the problem sometimes with these cars, they realy are like a women

Ok exhaust now fixed
Don't want to start another problem thread do will carry on this one.
Got yet another problemcar idles perfect and drove perfect yesterday for about 2 miles until the exhaust came loose so cut my drive short.
Fixed exhaust thinking that was it Finally done. Took the 5 for a very short drive and as soon as I hit 2k rpm the running on 3 problem is back
Any ideas or anyone local fancy casting a second pair of eyes over it.

Have you tried a different king lead ? Might of got some heat damage?All that's left too change is this, leads and renix. May aswell do all these at once too.![]()
is it pining for the Fjords?
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 inas 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
