My mate Rob was changing his head gasket yesterday on his 3 door. I think there were some teething problems when it was put back together.
Anyway, i have just woken to a text from 4am asking to put these questions on PF because he's stuck. They mean nothing to me so here goes!
"Is pinking noise similar to unlubed tappets?"
and
"Is the rotary arm timing mark a dot on the plastic disc in the dizzy?"
chop
ps cheers for wrong head bolts Mike

Steve, tell him to make sure he has the bottom pully lined up at the right mark
easy mistake to be made. will let the valves just tap on the top of the pistons, not enough to cause dammage on idle but fatal if he goes and drives it
The plastic part in the dizzy also has a little dot on it.

is the lug the gearbox sensor pickup? Does that line up with the sharp vertical mark?
No line is apparent on the outer side of the dizzy. Only the dot is the apparent timing feature.
