blue ford motorsport leads.

I'm going to get another check done on the compression, cos his tester thing did look quite old, it was his old mans an he bought it round as it was in his garage. I never felt 150% confident with the outcome, but thought i'd post up if it was indicating anything else u see. had like condensation in the glass of the display an stuff.

we checked the injector out aswell and its mint an runs fine.

We did notice that the engine seems to idle faster while its missfiring an running.



I think the basic understanding to get round is why will the plug an lead on no 3 when its all plugged up normally not fire :
I.e piston ring failure could this cause the missfiring, burnt/bent valve, cracked valve with abit missing off it?

gonna check it again in the morning to see if it blue smokes and then clears up and continues with black smoke which being unburnt fuel would point to something in line of no 3 i.e ring, valve, spring lifter or something


Also if its running to rich what do u need to adjust to lower the richness sorta thing. I will obviouslly be getting it setup aswell if i can get it going properly? Think its the fuel pressure regulator

cheers folks
