All running gear is now done.
Brought a engine from a member here, 1.8 lump with kent cam, vernier pulley etc, started stripping it down today and found this.
thick grey paste
Also cam pully was 3 teeth out, timing was 180 deg out, 3 threads stripped on the vernier pulley, did a compression test to check valves were ok, down on number 3.
Removed cam to find its picked up :-(
Thankfully james is sound and has agreed to refund. so 2 steps forward and 3 back, 20 days to go and its going to be really tight!

Going to fit a mk2 engine now, strip clean and paint tomorrow, rather than fitting like I should of been doing :-(
The cam cover could be the cause as it was painted, when i had my covers were done they masked the breather mesh off to avoid this!!
