Anyone around essex to tune my car?? timing and 40s?

[Toolbox]

Hi all,

 

Having a few problems with over heating, after replacing basically everything ive narrowed it down to the timing being out.

 

Anyone around the essex area could set it up for me??

 

I also have a pair of dcoe 40s to fit which will need minor tuning, again id appreciate some help with this?

 

Anyone know any reputational garages???

 

 

thanks

problems with overheating/wouldnt of thought that had any thing to do with tuning. have you checked the obvious i.e air lock in water system pressure testing ,head gasket etc

it can be down to timing and wrong fueling not saying it def is but it can cause your engine to run hotter

I just changed the oil yesterday to 15/40

 

I havnt checked the head gasket yet, a mate of mine has a pressure tester i think ill use later in the week. Does anyone know what sort of reading i should be looking at???

 

Ive washed out the entire system and ran the car for about 15minutes to get the air bubbles out. Would that be good enough??

 

My rad also has 99% of the fins on it and as far as i can tell is a original pinto rad.

 

The car doesnt smoke or anything.

Ok ive done a compression test. It reads:

 

From cambelt:

 

8.5

6.5

6.5

7.75 BAR

 

 

Am i right in saying it may well be head gasket??
