    Yup, I'm a moron! You were right all along! Means I turned my engine over the wrong way when I did my valve clearances :/ crap!

    saalright, me and my dad had half an hour of feeling ' ******** have we timed the cam in wrong.. nooo!!' and between him and me theres 50 years of motorsport and garage experience.. everyones a thicko at one point! :P oh well! as long as it was around 15 thou when the right valve was compressed then it should be fine:)

    IainStallard
    Yup, and plugs were out so there'd be no compression to damage anything anyway :P
