	Take the rocker cover off and have a look first - I've had CVH lifters fall apart and rockers come loose before.

	After doing that I would be tempted to do a compression test. What injection setup are you running? Also, what rotor arm do you have fitted? Is it one with a rev limiter built in or a simple resistor item?

	Doing a compression test on Friday.... It's running mfi with a bogo rotor arm and motorsport development leads.... The engine was set up standard boost and power at power engineering before I got it.... It sat around for a bit before I did the swap I've put a brand new t3 on it with 360 bearings...... Was starting on three for a while and hunting but cleared up then this happened
