billy, i cant take it to BAR the car's stuck at southend

cam change procedure:

remove cams
refit new cams (didnt touch the lifters, just coated em in oil)
start engine (this was quite tricky as we had the HT leads on wrong and the plenum gasket was leaking)

when we got it running on more than 3, i kept it at about 2-2.5k for about 5 minutes (that was quite difficult when it was missing like a mofo)

put leads on right and got it to run proper, started it, ran it at about 2k for about 30seconds, then tapping starts so quickly switch off



The guy's gonna take the cams out again today and check all the tappets and lobes etc. plus give it a fresh oil change etc. and run it up.

i SOOO hope its something that simple, and i don't need to get the engine swapped out or stripped down... lol the money aint an issue, but time is, the ring's looming!
