They're superb, really chuffed with them  Mine did for years on my bike then I fitted them as fog lights under the 2cv's bumper. Then they stopped working,after I rammed them against a high curb in a carpark

Sam,I thought you had to set the valve clearance when the engine is hot .20 on both inlet and exhaust.(up to 1968).My adjusting screws are not like yours at all, http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa4 ... 1370634391 Maybe you do have the wrong pushrods.Cant see wear making that much loss of adjustment. |

Don't fret, Dave, pics are there. That's how the adjusting screws should look as well. Mind you, Sam's van has run fine for a couple of years with this setup, so there's been no harm done. ken dave 411 wrote: don't know wtf is going on with the pics |

As they're all the same and haven't changed drastically over a few thousand miles, I would suspect a bit of a mismatch of parts somewhere along the line. As the valves and seats wear, you'll obviously have to back them off more anyway, so I can't see it causing you any problems really. As far as the strobe goes, the main aim of using it is to make sure the timing's correct when it's at it's most advanced, which you can't achieve just using the peg in the hole. You want two timing marks on the flywheel: one at idle speeds and one at full revs. A few degrees clockwise. When you describe the marks separating, you actually want the two marks you've made on the flywheel to move over until the second mark lines up with the one on the bellhousing. Ken's got a good write up on his Flickr account which describes how to do it much more succinctly than I'd be able to. Sorry if I'm telling you stuff you already know, but it sounded like you may just have used the strobe to set the timing accurately at low engine speeds. |

After Luke's comment I just thought I'd add this. The static timing marks shouldn't necessarily line up when viewed with the strobe. The static marks are for when the engine is static (not running), once the engine is running the advance weights will have an effect. Not sure if that's what you did, but it sounded a bit like it. |

Thinking I should maybe retime her given what I've learned here

The timing at idle isn't actually critical, so long as the engine idle smoothly. What's important is that it's correct when the engine is working hard, that's why the strobe is used to check the timing at over 3000 rpm. Track down Ken's instructions, but check if the numbers are the same for an M4. |
