New engine isnt as great as I was hoping.
muddyjames:

If the timing is out am i slowly screwing my engine up?

Ex Police Engine , So driven hard from cold on regular basis , worst cars to buy ever.............
Disco Matt:
I would wonder if the problem lies with the stuff you didn't transfer from the old engine (like the kickdown parts)?

I was told it was an ex support unit so hopefully not driven hard, but who knows. it sounds alot better than the old engine and there is no noise from the snorkel as air is being sucked in like the last engine did.

but would not having kick down just be like a manual gear box? There is a connector leccy plug on the old engine for the kick down but it looks far too complicated to change that unit over as all the throttle linkage bit on the engine end needs to come off and even a mate said he isnt going to help as it can screw up engine big time if the old one goes back on the new one even slightly out.
