I'll send photos tomorrow. Yes rocking i am meaning the tappets are free and rocking. Just a term we us.

Hi All Great feedback many thanks. The engine was running OK previously. It had an overheating problem. The heat exchanger pumped out water when the engine got hot. I guessed the head gasket. I changed the head gasket, restarted successfully after two attempts. I only had fresh water cooling so two more starts to prove ok i shutdown to start work on the boat. I then started my repaint program. Anti foul etc. When ready to put into the water I tried the engine to be sure before launching and she would not start. 2 months ago many looking at my problem no success. When i took the pulley cover plate off it was then I noticed the 180 difference. How on earth is this possible.

Hi All, I'm new to canal world. Been reading some of the problems and great to see how so many jump in and help out!! Can you out there help me? I have a BMC 1.5 DIESEL the timing dimples on the 2 Cogs is exactly 180 Deg out. No 4 valve is set rocking and it should be No 1 valve i think. Exhaust is pushing through the inlet take. What is my solution. Any help gratefully recieved. Pete
