Thats ok, I had a V6 306 with 120BHp for a few minutes until the guy realised he had the rollers set for the wrong number of cylinders

OK time for an update

Interesting findings actually.

First, compression was fine, lowest was 196 I think and highest 206, so no issues there.

Cam timing not so fine, I think I've got this right but the exhaust was advanced far more than it should be and the inlet was slightly retarded. So this was all wrong and nowhere near where it should be, but does sort of relate to what Tom wrote on here about overlap etc.

Suffice to say it feels a lot better, runs smoother, pulls cleaner. but clearly without a repeat RR run I can't know for sure.

Can't thank Stan enough, and for those of you who have a similar issue with power not quite feeling right, check the easy stuff first. Without tell tales like oil burn or tapping try a compression check, then check cam timing, it can be out, Stan reckoned this was further out than any he had seen before, and was slightly surprised it hadn't done any damage.

So be warned guys, don't believe the tripe you read on places like this sometimes from people that maybe have picked up old wives tales. I can't imagine it was setup like this by a decent mechanic, so just be careful, another few clicks and this would have been badly damaged more than likely.

Again thanks to Stan, and all the folk who have contributed here. Been very helpful and only slightly exasperating!

Off now to write a letter to the Dartford Bridge...

Glad you're happy with it Rob, and the car runs a lot better.

Yes indeed, as stated, the timing was so far out (especially with the exhaust cam) I'm still unsure how valves weren't bent to be honest.

Anyway, it will be good once you've had a chance to get it back on the rollers and see the difference.

Nice to meet you, and good luck with the car fella.

So if the cams were in line with the holes and bars etc were fitted in these holes when cam belt was done how can the timing be out ?

Glad a compression test was done as that will show how well the engine is, sounds quite healthy but not the very best results however it does depend on the tool itself

I think there should be a tug of war but with vehicles. The losers car will then get broken by pugplus and crspares and then sold for parts many months after payment

It wasnt feno22's fault. It was the poor delivery pigeon. He probably overloaded it with parts and it had a stroke mid flight.
