    Another method that’s pops up is using a vacuum gauge to set timing has anyone done this  and can I tee into the vac pipe from the carb or do I have to drill the manifold if so were.  Thanks

    Thanks.  MikeN have sent off to join that forum think l will try the dial gauge through the plug hole and mark the pulley then work out with a protractor to find 7 degree

    Thanks for the replies

    to Bruce the manual says there is a mark on the flywheel which can be seen through inspection hole on gearbox bell housing lhave no TDC marks on the engine pulley  the dizzy has a ignition module with no lights.

    To mikeN

    have thought about the possible marking the engine pulley at tdc by watching piston and valve position then I would need some measurement for the correct timing

    Thanks for the reply have sent a email to GAT about cost

    timing my Devon has always been a bit hit and miss it has electronic ignition so no points there are no marks on the front of the engine my method has been to get the engine running and then turn the dizzy to get the best result

    On a similar theme has anyone altered the diff or gearbox ratios on a Devon van at anything above 40mph the engine is reving quite high. Thanks. Tom

    Hi Dave thanks for the reply I did take the head off again and annealed the solid copper gasket and refitted it my problem is very strange you can see small bubbles at the head joint nearest the bulkhead on the spark plug side I have checked cylinder compression all four are good and very close to each other after 1000 miles the engine has lost no oil or water starts on the button and drives ok my only mistake seems to be that I torqued the nuts down when hot if I have to take the head off again I will follow your advice to the letter. Thanks tom
