Winner - head off and given a once over all appeared ok. In the risk to build it up it looks like dad left a bit of the old gasket on it tho. Cleaned out all up and rebuilt the head checking the timing again on the way. Final at about 5pm today I got it running no probs oh apart from an oil leak, the little rubber oring under the head I forgot to put in or it moved!! Oil out the side so it's of again for the last time tomorrow.
On the bright side with the twin carbs and 4 branch I xan leave all that attached wgen taking the head off.
So, low compression caused by dirt left on the head (thanks dad) who'd of thought!!

What makes you think they're 'exciting'? |
