chip-3door, Just been upto see Liam about the engine and it turns out that it still wont start.

No4 cylinder is actually getting hot where its trying to run on cranking but, cylinders 1-3 are not.

Cylinders 1 -3 have a compression of 50 and No 4 is on 150.

Liam showed me with the scope thing down into the bores and there are quite a few scratchs and marks in bores 1-3, No4 is fine tho

AndyRST, Laims's had the cam cover off and the valves are all ok and the rockers nuts are all tight

When it was running it did sound as if it was it was missing, very, very lumpy.

But all the time i had the engine, the head was never removed for any reason.

I think Liam may whip the head off and investigate further if we get no where with initial investigations.

He has put oil inside the bores and is going to leave it over night to see if it has any effect tomorrow.
