Hi Mike,
Ok that now makes sense. After the crank was re-balanced
all the turning gear (fly wheel, crank, balancer, pully)
was sent off to be balanced. I guess maybe the way it all fits
together now is how it was balanced to.
Hi Tony,
Thanks for your helpful reply,
You will know when I'm messing with everyone becouse I will say 'I am messing with everyone'
Please remember, FEs are not common outside of America.
Maybe I could get a different mechanic but this one is local, and I've already seen the damage done by mechanics that think they know what they are doing and don't ask. (My engine was re-built about 92 by a 'respected' company and they set all the valve lash too tight which may have resulted in my rocker shaft braking)
I thought the whole point of this forum was so people could ask quiestions that may seem simple to others and get honist answers not sarcastic comments!
Thank you for your advice anyway. The basic problem we were having is that TDC on the pully didn't match TDC determined by #1 compression but I can now see why that would be and therefore we should be able to get it sorted
