just changed the plugs and they were all suited to fuck
But even with the new ones its still misfiring after about 2 mins of running
Gonna change the valve clearances back to the piper settings and see it that helps any once its cooled down.

if the plugs are that sutted up it could be a lambda thats gone, cause it doesnt take much to fuck them up, i had a fairly new one on just before i fitted my cam and cause i had timings wrong and it was overfueling my plugs were completly black like they were just dipped in block power, and the car over a period of a week or 2 had run no more than 2 hours and when i finally got it running it missfired like a bitch it turned out that the lambda was fucked, and yet it was fine before i cammed it lol
but still best to check on the diagnostics to find out, could be 1 of many things that causes the prob

That could make sense actually because the engine management light has been flashing since its started misfiring bad. Ive checked already and there both plugged in so might explain it. Would also explain the overfueling its doing.
Just gonna have to fight with it to get it to a garage tomorrow haha.

Stick the standard cam pulley back on imo and use the locking hole - that way, you can be sure it's at standard timing. Failing that, have the fault codes read!

Not sure, having second thoughts about selling it aswell now. Cant decide if i want to put an interior back in it or leave the buckets and that in it just now.
Ill wait until i get it back then decide i think.
