Well I'm a happy man today.
Had car set up yesterday.
Was worried about the low compression I had on pot 4.
Turned out to be a sticky valve.
After runnin the car for about half hour it seemed to sort itself out and ran great.
Started off with a hydrocarbon Reading of 600 and co of 8.4.
Got co to 4.2 and hydro carbons came down to 248 which is great and indicates a sweet bottom end.
Saves me loads of work.
Hopefully when I start using the car the valve will sort itself out.
So I can now crack on with what's left.
Things left to do are
sort handbrake as it's only working on one side
Tyres
overhaul steering column
refit rear seats which I've just removed to clean and respray the metal backs
few bits and bobs here and there
Mot
tidy up engine bay
prep and paint
drive and enjoy
