as above. engine has been rebuilt, the followers were replaced as they had popped out but the camshaft wasnt. ive been told they should be replaced together. so got the car back and it was completely powerless and was a hell of a tart to start up especially from cold.

when it did i had to hold the revs at 2000+ for 4ish mins till it will idle down to 1500 and stay there, wont ever go lower.

now it the starter motor turns, but the car wont fire up. sparks are coverd in black soot, but the mechanic said he has set it to be run rich for some reason. replaced them but still wont work.

sound like the camshaft complelty gone?? or any ideas??

thanks all!
