Is there a full set up guide anywhere?
Assuming bank 1 and 2 are mechanically the same if I disconnect pot 2 which looks to be out then it will take pot 1 value? so the fueling will be equal for both banks. Not a solution but I should be able to hear and feel the difference. I can then go about setting them both up.
I will look at the bearing issue i can have something machined to modify if it is a common problem.

So I don't really have time to set the throttle pots or do any investigating at the moment, but I did disconnect the throttle pot lead from the bad side. And it has made a noticeable difference, idles better, free revs with a much quicker response from idle and a touch more power id say. Also sounds better!
My cerb absolutely drinks oil, im going to rebuild during the winter if i get 5 minutes.
Has anyone ever done anything crazy like make a 4 valve head, add in vvt or anything?

Don't worry chaps, I am actually an engine designer. I work on/design engines everyday!
I have no experience of the AJP unit which is the reason for many of my questions.
I would say the car is quicker just from taking the bad throttle pot out of the equation. I had a couple of brilliant blasts on the weekend and the engine was better, but it still drinks oil badly.
So a rebuild is definitely needed one way or the other unless i just live with the oil problem.
I am just starting to enjoy the car but there are plenty of things that could be improved in my opinion of course engine related.
I am insanely busy until feb march on an absolutely brilliant project but when the weather turns for the worse I will strip her and see whats what. It's on the original crank so that is on the list to be swapped regardless.
This is a fun car for me and so i'm open to anything. I'm just putting some ideas out there!
