Hi Gaz,
Looking good mate [8D]
Probaly will feel better, a slack chain moves ignition and valve timing.
Cheers John

I guess the compression will be a little higher after the head skimming job, you will notice a difference if that is the case.

I have given up on keeping a track on how much I am spending on my girl as I know it would only make me cry and give my wife good grounds to get the TR out. I do not want to sell my car so all the receipts are not kept in one place where my wife can find them lol.</font id="blue"></b>
