Re: Engine lost spark...Helps!
Got the parts off a mate dropped into my letterbox at 7am.....!
Valve hadn't dropped into cylinder due to retainer pieces and middle section of valve spring cap being still attached to valve.
Unfortunately I messed up after trying for an hour to get the left over bits out and used a grinder to 'gently' strip off the left over bit. WHoops.
Screwed the value top up, so now it's head off time. Go team Maiki. *sigh*
four days till Chopped.
