right had a chance to look today got tonsillitis so feeling like shit 8(

crank sensor looked miles out so adjusted best i could for some reason closest could get was bout 1mm didnt wanna move any closer...

check dizzy and rotor arm was prob 1-2mm out dunno if that is much or not.. so moved ..

started first time and ticking over nice.. was perfect revs to bout 3k 3-5k.. then im guessing it tried to boost and was like a nuclear boom out the back box lol.. so kinda left it at that for now

thnx for all the advice guys/girls.. spot on as always
