well I came, I saw and sadly I did not fix
timed the engine correctly but the compression was just lifting on my tester.
now we came to the conclusion that because the valve seats have been ground and changed, the shims are now pressing down and holding the valves open. you cant get a feeler gauge between the cam and shim.
so we think that it needs shorter shims, or have the ones he has now machined down slightly.
does anybody know where
fiatpanda80 can get shorter shims?
also, get a members motors thread up
his car is a very nice CLX, same colour as my Marbella Red with 73k miles L reg.... Never been welded, and rust free!
