Hi all, Following on from previous threads I ended up replacing the block and bottom end on my GP (engine code 199a6000) with a block / bottom end from a 843a1000 engine. All electrical components are now back on and the engine idles runs smoothly (off load). The oil pressure is good (new filter and oil). I'm getting a fault code P0011 (over advanced timing) when driving - no error if car is left idling or whilst revving in neutral. I have checked the loom to the variation control solenoid - its fine, I have check that the solenoid is working (applied 12v and could see it moving - solenoid was removed). Am seeing No 1 timing on my obd2 go from -5 / -6 at idle to 28 at 2500rpm. If I unplug my variation solenoid it make no difference to the timing / running of the engine. I started the engine with the variation solenoid housing removed and minimal oil came out the solenoid supply line (even revving it). Whilst rebuilding the engine I replaced the cam carried gasket - could this be blocking the oil delivery line? does anyone have oil gallery diagrams for both the 199a6000 and the 843a1000 engines?
thx
