My mate has just had his head gasket done by his mate it has been skimmed and pressure tested, new valves and a kent fast road cam kit put in! its timed up correctly,new plugs,rotor arm and dizzy cap theres compression,sparkand fuel getting through but its missing like theres a plug out but not as severe as a plug out!
theres no air leaks or from what i can see from pipes or gaskets

cant think of anything else to look at but thaught someone may have had this problem! HELP PLEASE!

 

didnt think you was surpose to skim heads on turbos but i could be wrong?

 

if you take a small amount like 7 thou off its fine.

 

Are the plug leads round the right way?

 

yea m8 all the plug leads are fine n still cant find the problem!

 

THIS PIC MIGHT HELP!!!!!

Hi mate,
I had a misfire on my turbo after fitting a new head gasket and a new cam mine is a piper one, i was timing it up using the new pully that come with the cam kit, my misfire turned out to be that the top dead centre point on the cam pully is not top dead centre i took the 19mm bolt out of the cam and found that the woodruf key was facing down towards the bottom end and this is wrong the woodruf key should face up towards the bonnet as the woodruf key is the ture top dead centre coulb be worth have a look mate

 

will check this out m8 when i get chance and let u know!

 

found out what the misfire was!!!!! Took the new cam back out and on inspection the lobe on exhaust valve on no. 4 piston was rounded instead of being lobe shape! this seems to me to have been like this from new as it was missfireing from the first turn of the key! so has anyone had a faulty cam from kent?
