if it wont rev oucl be timing well out but would be odd if it was working ok before. how were the dashpots? might be a carb rebuild needed, floats could be sticking or nethin

might run but not push fuel, you seen it coming out the carb end? how much?

well if you top it right up with either atf or 10w40 and just put the damper back in it will push out what it doesnt want and get rid of that oxidization on the tops lol :p how sure are you about that fuel pump, what kind of pump is it? if its a tap tap then the diaphragm might be split and it...

you sure they full though? and its not turned to sludge? bittern sucks!

and as fanny said a while back have you topped up the dashpots? cant see any oil spills in the pic :D

near me bud, u can come check my cam timing too :p

clockwise right? hopefully its right now then but will give it a go, thanks mate :D

I am guessing I can leave the chain on to do this test, I can then check if it by luck the pointer that is slightly out with the new chain :D

what about the hang time on the piston at tdc, how do you know where the actual top is? I dont have an indicator really, what would you suggest?

no, I didnt know to do that , but also how would I know which stroke the piston was on without the head on to check both valves were shut? Anyway its a bit late now :( I really need someone to show me how to do this just once lol , never done it before

so looking at the harmonic balencer and timing cover pointer discrepancy can I be one whole keyway/tooth out from the correct tdc?

See what I mean here mate, no real mark on crank chain wheel, daft innit chainpic3.jpg Photo by fett8 | Photobucket

yeah they do, as best you can tell, look at the instructions as there is no actual mark on the spot on the crank chain wheel. really i am not happy I am at tdc with piston/valves as the pointer on the timing cover doesnt line up on harmonic ballencer tdc mark.

no vid= it didnt happen! :) Bring it down to run it in (aka I really want a go and I need you to check I have done my cam timing right before I go in for my arm op! :D )

yeah thats what I was thinking of mark, But I am not sure it is, have I just put the chain one tooth out, have a look at the new pics of the instructions everyone and compare them to the pics of what I have done. Billit Cam Chain Instructions Photos by fett8 | Photobucket Anyone fancy coming...

well piston one at top of stroke as near as I can tell without dti, both valves shut as per pic. The marks are very stupid on crank sprocket if you look at the pic of the instructions on the left of the sheet for tdc std set up you will see. but whats it all got to do with lr manual and...

ha ha true, I am stuck now actually! first dumb mistake, does it matter which side the heads go on, I just noticed tonight that the inlet manifold numbers dont match the heads lol, does it affect the bolts of the ancillaries? not sure how well p38 ancillery bolt holes gonna match a 1972 range...

its the other way round , I aint as dumb as doc :p

yeah they fit, just entire gasket opening is not taken up by combustion chamber pistons dont come out the top of the block

and with the test you suggest how to lever valves down safely?
