It's not adjustable because the tdc sensor is fixed if you move the sensor one way or the other the advances or retardes the the timing

Cam timing was set using vernier and gauge when I checked engine timing with tdc sensor in original place timing was off so altered tdc position to bring back to 8 degrees

Compression should be about standard is 8 degrees not standard setting

Thanks fir the help I am going to buy new pistons and liners as three liners were cracked would you advise me to buy lower compression pistons or stick with standard and look for a new head

You can go either way mate, if you go for lower comp pistons you don't have to go too bigger dish just flat top ones will do

3 cracked liners, i bet thats due to comp ratio  :wink:

Maybe the chap I got the car from had just had the head gasket done the engine got that hot it melted some off the wiring the garage that fixed it must have just put a new head gasket on and left the cracked liners as the engine blew up after a couple of miles
