its a matter of timing

Well I have had the steel timing gear put in seemed a shame to cut up the rage rear as it was in VG condition but the new gear was put on the cheats way with the cam shaft still in the vehicle.

We also changed the harmonic balancer while we were at it (the weight on it was loose and busy sawing it’s way through the rivets)

Mable , Mable, Mable

She’s got a name, Mable

That’s what I have named my new car after Mable the heroine from the Pirates of Penzance she just seems to be a stable steady girl
Lucy was a tomboy and

Katie was a lady

But Mable is well Mable

I have replaced the fibre timing gear and the Harmonic balancer and the timing case seal and have rebuild the distributor, I bought a new set of leads and replaced the plugs twice started with Champions J12ys now I am running NGK BP5s the Champions have been good in the past but now that they are not made in Australia any more it think QC has suffered

Went up the central coast and ran real well on 55mph I have also been to Wollongong and she never missed a beat but I am worried about the white smoke and we are using water but their appears to be no water in the oil so I don’t think the head gasket is blown
