  1. If you had all the motor and wiper arms off they need to be reset/ timed up the motor has to be aligned up on the cam arm in park. Set the motor and linkage up in the car position. Then put your wiper arms on. It's quite simple to do you just need to disconnect ever thing. Turn the wiper motor on, and make sure it's turned off in park. Then fit linkage on in the park position. Then fit the wiper arms in the park position.

  2. So after many miles of abuse I killed the car bank holiday Sunday. Got the car recover to my workshop on Monday morning. I started to strip the head of as the car was still running but had an awful misfire. I was fully expecting to see a melted / cracked piston. But none of that. I had burnt a valve out. I was thinking result at this time. What a nice quick fix I had to do.

    So instead of just changing the one valve I opted for a rebuilt head as the old head was warn out and need the valve guides changing as well. So I stuck a spare head on with cruise cams and solid buckets with top hat shims.

    Was also told my engine was built by HRF in Japan. The guy said he had the sump off and it looked stock. But when I took the head off I found this?

    Far from stock I'd say lol no wonder it's got low comp. had the car back up and running Monday night. Then I broke it again and took head back off. Dropped a valve. Had it back up and running Tuesday again. Now pulling like a train again. Bit more tweaking of the afr and ignition table and will be spot on again.

  3. So was giving the car some shit as usual last night. And it sounded like it dett'd and developed a misfire :( Nursed it the mile or so back home. Pulled the head off today expecting to find a nice melted/ cracked piston.

    But found this
