    ok tested....Fip and timing are set. they were in time already but confirmed now. could sitting for two years cause a problem with injector? the loss of power feels like 3 cylinders runniing

    thanks for the help and i will check those things over the weekend. the engine came out of an Arkonic 110 called the wessex. The defender was shipped to the states and the drive train was removed and a LS was installed. I bought the drive train
