I cleaned the battery terminals, done them up tight, undid the earths, sanded the contact patches, and left the battery on charge over night.
Cranked it over the next day, and BOOM! Huge back fire and smoke out the intake.
Not just a gentle splutter like before.
So it's definitely a cam timing issue as well.
I hope there's no damage to the engine, will take the head off to see if everything is okay.
Engine is now stripped down with only two mounts holding it to the car, it will be out as soon as I can get access to a hoist.
Then will check cam timing, get someone else to have a look, and stick it back in. Will hopefully run after that.Fingers crossed.
haha sweet man looks like your making some good progress, and dont worry - ive seen flames come out XSIV's gze intake
