Hi All,
I've recently got sleipnir running with new heads, however i'm having issues getting the car to start/ run.
Basically I'm finding that if i go out to start it from cold, I cant get it to start without loosening the dizzy and advancing the timing slightly. I then need to retard it slightly to have it run correctly. Obviously it's had new range rover 3.9 heads, new timing chain (although it started ok on this until i put the new heads on). So is this likely to be an ignition fault? Clean plugs, dizzy cap, rotor arm, or is there likely to be something more untoward amiss?
It's running an electronic dizzy with built in electronic ignition from simonbbc.
Really want to drive it now. It has it's MOT but i dont seem to be able to get it into a state where i can rely on it.
THanks in advance,
Rich
