Absolutely! Should have added that one to the induction list. Well spotted, that man.  :wink:

Should be spottable with the rocker off.

Knowing my luck it will be a sticking valve and it will be on the side that has all the air intake etc on not the side thats easy to get at.

Karlo, Thanks for that will give you a shout if i need it
Thanks

ok just been out to her now and took the spark plugs out one at a time and found one plug covered in unburnt fuel. so swop it over for another one i had and tested the plug against the eninge and found that when the plug is a short distance from the engine you get a spark jumping the gap as it should but  when you touch the threaded part of the spark plug against the engine no spark. so one broken spark plug just never know one to do that before. must be a broken core nside it. but is sounds like its back on all clys now. just fingers crossed and wait for the next fault/ thing to fall off :roll:  ant land rovers brill :wink:

Just got back for the lpg test station to v8 was still not right you could feel it runing uneven so he checked the timing and found the timing marks i used were not the correct one i used the cut out in the counter wight :roll: so when he checked it we found instead of it been 12 btdc it was.............................................................................. 42 btdc. so dissy off repostioned and all is well in the world of my v8 and me one very happy bunnie :(biggrin):  :(biggrin):  :(biggrin):
