Hi again the car was a p/ex that came to me when my boss got sick of spending time and money on it!! I have since blasted it to skeggy on the off chance of blasting any potential blockage free but to no avail.I should hopefully be getting a cylinder tester this weekend so will update when i have som...

I will give the bores a test when i can borrow neccesary equipment.What you say does sound feasible for this fault,the only odd thing is that if you do a compression test when cold it pushes 175 psi but rev it then do another test you get about 20 psi.Also found today that pushing the revs to 3500 w...

Hi i did wonder that but the compression goes to almost zero but only if you go over 1/3 throttle.I thought it was more to do with oil circulation in the head that was poor and somehow affecting the tappets? No smoke whatsoever either even when cold.Also noticed that the engine management light come...
