Right so....
Engine in, lift kit in, weber on.
Engine RUNNING!!!
Clocked up about 200km so far.
Booked her in to my local garage. Blackwood dyno tune, authorized repco.
They seemed alright, insisted because it was a carby they get in an old guy that knows what he is doing. I was pretty happy.
They were going to do a full tune.
Turns out they couldn't. 2 reasons.
Rockers have to much sideways movement.
My coke / mother can fix leaked worse than the wiki leaks information.
Turns out that I had some shim washers missing. Wave washers whatever you want to call it.
Mine NEVER had them. Without them there is to much sideways movement so it throws everything out.
The exhaust they said would throw out their machines and o2 sensors etc.
I grabbed a piece of exhaust, cut a sleeve, welded it on. And used putty to fill in the cracks and little holes that mudking made my welding. Hehehehe.
Tomorrow morning she goes back in!
This should be it! Hopefully! Touch wood.
Finally aloud to drive her. (Again) (with the sideways movement it could/ was ruining the valves or rockers.
