Sorry, just re-read your last post on carbon.

Once the car was returned home after purchase, went straight into my garage for strip down due how bad it was running.

Everything topside is new or reconditioned including the head, EGR sorted too.

Let me see where we are at on TDC and go from there, having a known benchmark will give me a bit of reassurance as currently bewildered lol
