My heart was in my mouth when I started it up but it ran like a dream!!

What's even more worrying, it was a Ford dealer that got the timing wrong!!!


I'd definitely be checking your camshaft timing.

Great post. I want to check my timing is correct on my engine before i start it for the first time, where did you get the tool? I imagine aligning it by the marks on the cams to the marks on the cover would the same result?
