ive just put the car back together after changing head gasket and piston no 3
it runs but when i put power on it bogs down it runs fine if driving like a granny but assoon as you put your foot on the throttle hard it bogs down any help on this please guys cheers

also i cut out a bee-r rev limiter before i stripped the engine but dont see why that would change anything tho.....

Has the engine light come on? If not it could be a throttle position sensor fault, try disconnecting the TPS and see if things improve.

Theres the dots on the rear side of the gears on the cams to line up.
The 4e markings on the cam pulley, lines up with a dimple on the cam mcap behind it.
And on the bottom cambelt pulley(not the crank pulley) there is marks to line up on it.

theres also the bolt that goes into the intake camshaft did you put that in when u removed to do the gasket ? you have to remove the bolt once you put the camshafts back in and inline, al try getting a picture of the timing manual that shows which marks to go from

yeah i didnt put the servise bolt in when removed but i did tension it and fit it when installing the cams and obviously removed it again once set:p
i know where the timing marks are etc 2-1 dots inside cam cover 4e mark to dot outside and crank slot to timing mark on block

cheers for the help guys would modern diognostics pick anything up or is the car too old?

ok thanks chris why would i have to reset tps if i havnt moved it? also how do i set it?
ignition timing is set at the mark on the camshaft now neutrel i will get the ignition timing set but i know its know theres somthing wrong

if timing was out would it cause a rough idle but rev clean in neutrel but under load bog down???

im listening to you guys and i do appreciate the help

The woodruff key in the crankshaft should point straight up when the crank is at TDC. You can check that by just removing the crank pulley bolt. Then check if the camshaft pulley lines up with it's timing marks.

If you haven't moved the TPS and it hasn't taken a knock from anything, then it's best to leave the TPS as it is for the time being.
