Essex v6 help needed.
Discussion
Hello, Im currently rebuilding a Hensen M30 kitcar running an essex v6.
The problem now, its not running on all cylinders on the left bank. (exhaust is only warm not hot like the other side and it clearly sounds like its misfiring and doesnt change when i pull the leads off that side.)
so far ive ported and polished the intake manifold, fitted a brand new weber 38 dgms carb with a k+n, new spark plugs, new leads, cleaned out but not replaced the dizzy, adjusted the rockers cos it was tappety, and done all the usuall service items.
I will do a compression test and see what that says, and could do with setting up timing accuratly.
Has anybody got any ideas what might be going on? Or have any info on timing these?
Also if anybody knows a good mechanic that has in depth knowlege of these engines around Edinburgh or east scotland it would be appreciated. Thanks.
