the video on my phone has sound so if i take a video it will have the sound of the engine on it too

well i could take a video on my phone if someone could tell me how to post it on here? you have to bear with me on this... im a blonde whos definitely dumb when it comes to computers lol x

Well i think yr both right,but as well as those hundreds of hrs its also been almost that in £'s too so in my opinion the time has definitely come to admit defeat & do what i suggested to the others in the first place & take it to someone who knows exactly what they're doing. So thanks to all of...

Hi Sean.. sorry but i wouldnt have a clue how to post the sound on here lol & the original reason we took it apart was the engine sounding like a diesel! at first we thought it might be something to do with the distributor as,like i already said, the pins on the end of the drive dog snapped...

Hi,its not the exhaust or the crank bearings. When we first put the new camshaft on & started it up it didnt sound too bad but once we'd re-torqued the cylinder head & checked the gaps it reverted back to sounding like a diesel again? The sound is like heavy tapping if that helps? sorry i know...

Hi guys, Oxides...The cam hasnt got a P on it just 3 key slots & is definately not inside out. We're gonna give the info from Phlebas one more try so fingers crossed. Since we've tried all yr suggestions it has tried to start whereas before it wasnt doing anything at all. Will let you all know...

Hi guys & well we've tried just about everything but just can't get it started so i think its gonna have to go to the garage but thanks again for all your help it was much appreciated & worth a try x

Thanks again Phlebas & you too Kelly, we'll have a look at what you've both said & let you know the outcome x

Thanks guys. Firstly phlebas...yes,it did run before but had to change the camshaft as the old one was shattered around the key,too much play. Sounded like a diesel so took engine apart & fitted a new camshaft,new gaskets & new key. Its a 12V not a 24 as it was modified by the previous owner for...
