#4 are rocking,#1 fully closed

Ok, as usual, timing cover off shows a completely different scenario to what I thought. At first, I think the cam cog is 180 out, secondly, it looks also a tooth out of 180 too. I'm gonna have a think about it over lunch before changing anything. The marker on the cam should align with the top...

2.25 petrol

I have the felt, will attempt it on Saturday, I'll report back when I've done it. Need to check timing chain first, but that's on another thread of mine. I may fit the felt to relax after banging my head about the rough running issue.

yep, I sense that too. I'll get to level 3 swearing. Level 1; general self abuse. 'you stupid C$%T' etc Level 2: French blame. 'was this designed by the french or something' Level 3; Holy. 'jesus christ mother mary' Level 4; Crying.

Yep, makes sense. thanks for the help, exactly the answer I needed. I shall order a couple

OK, so you fold the felt over within the channel and the return features hold it in. Maybe I'll get some then, at first I thought it would have been like the one at the bottom.

I have found these... https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/czl000020-felt-for-sliding-window-glass.html But not too sure if this is the right thing.

Ah, that's interesting. I assumed it would be hard plastic like the one at the bottom. In that case, the usual web sites sell a roll of felt that apparently does this but I'm just not sure how it would stay up there.

I have a 1985 90 county with 2 rear sideways sliding windows. When closed they rattle like the change in a stressed engineers pocket. Seems the hard plastic insert that fits all along the length of the window is missing from the top only. Bottom one is there... Sort of, but the top one is not...

yep, another EV conversion. There's 100s of them. But hybrid is a different in many ways. firstly, you keep the engine and can drive all day (these days), as you can pop into a petrol station. With the addition of doing short journeys using EV, it's not about power either, a lot of these full...

Yes, this will be unsprung mass, but for my use, it would be acceptable. Their web site has an example LR running them, it's not ideal but might be a way round fitting motors elsewhere.

This has got my attention. I've been driving EVs for over 10 years now to commute, have an electric motorbike too...all these alongside my petrol classics and petrol big motorbike for proper touring. But, it's got me thinking about hybrid for my 1985 petrol 90. I'd hate to lose the motor but...

Now that's using your nogin. I'll get a bit of paper and sketch which one should be where to work that out

https://photos.app.goo.gl/7RZH9LG9RM4sPHRH7 Here's a link to a video, before you slate me... Yes, I'll put the tappets back. I set them cold and now I have a sewing machine effect, that I'll put back but this video shows the drop in revs, even when revving.

I did a compression test, 115,125,125,125. Nothing outrageous there. I did a dry test but feel that this is not the issue so did not bother doing a wet test. Regarding cam shaft, let me explain better what I mean. If the person who last assembled the engine put the chain between the cam...

OK, got back to the old girl after lots of other projects got in the way. Been using her regular and still have the rough idle issue. So with her in the garage I have today and next Saturday to tinker with her and try a few more things. I checked the tappet clearances, they were all tight, so...

Tis done.

Lol, nope, it's tight but better than rolling around on the floor
