Disappointing dyno result.

If you and your mrs fancy a trip to blackpool you are more than welcome to pop round and use my ACR4 which will not only test the VIS motors but virtaully every other actuator and throw up any fault codes.

That aside, are you sure the mechnaic who fitted the cams knew what he was doing as didn't you say he couldn't work out how the verniers fitted hence why they are not on the car.

Just seen this reply sorry Phil,
That could well be a plan at some point, I'll have to see what the calendar is like lol! Sounds like an awesome bit of kit!

I'm not so sure now on the mechanic! Thought he would be fine as a lot of people use them where I'm from but maybe he got it way wrong and it's out as a lot are saying and he's screwed it up!

Ok that sounds like something to look at then.

If those are different does that mean to use the standard timing marks or not?

I've never timed an engine before but is there any pictures or what should I be looking at to have a quick check.

I'm not sure tbh with you. That's the figures I got given so I don't know the wheel figures sorry.

even the timing piper say they should be timed to is not really in the zone and not the sort of timing an expert would put on the motor.

most people time them up with the standard rover timing tools as so few people have exhaust side verniers.

the rover timing tools way of timing does not produce a graph like that, but I think the comment above may have stumbled across something interesting

That's why I never use that garage heard many bad reports about them not being the best.

He took the belt job on at least
Won't be back there now anyway. Just need to find someone reputable in chester area now.


Have to wait to get home now before I can do more, not sure if I should check compression as well?

How do these results stack up against staccatos (mine) dyno. Don't the cars share similar mods?
