Re: [doc] Non DeLorean Techical Question

["Claire Usher" <claire_usher71@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all your advice guys, its certainly given me some pointers.

I know the car did have some 'head work' about 6000 miles ago as the 
head gasket had gone (quite common on the 1725cc engine between 90000 
and 100000 miles apparantly), but it doesnt look like hardened valve 
seats were fitted as part of the work (I've got nearly £5000 worth of 
receipts with the car which doesnt include the body resto and respray 
in 1996!).  She's got twin Stromberg Carburettor's btw Nick.

I'm using it for work today, but I'll swap her back with the Cavvy 
tonight.  I need to get myself a timing light before I tackle it 
further :-)  Mind you, I also need to find time to sort Flopsy's 
handbrake (or lack of) some time this week too in readiness 
for 'going out to play' on Sunday........

Cheers again guys,
