Well, Since i've replaced the glowplugs recently I retarded the static timing back to where it was originally.
It has now been boosting at 28psi peak (rather than 24psi) in 3rd, 4th and 5th on a Lucas fully wound and K14 fully shut. I'm usually very mechanical sympathetic and done oil changes every 3k etc.
It's never been over 90* temp wise, but from what I've just checked the top coolant pipe is fairly hard. I can squeeze it together fully with a bit of force. Struggled to start, sounded like low compression.
How much would I be expecting to fork out for a garage to do the job (estimate?) or how easy is it? My only experience I've had with HG changes were on my saxo vtr.
Thanks for any feedback.
