thanks mate

im getting the ecu tomorrow night and i have a spare brand new inlet gasket
so sunday ill strip it down again lol and try new inlet seal and try and find a way to get a better seal on the plenum

the engine was brand new for tickford ford and had been bench tested before me getting it so i know the engine is good buy ive had the inlet of and fitted the rainbird plenum since

god i hope this sorts it
taken me 10months so far to build the car from a rusty shell and had it booked in for a mot next week :-(
