  6. The fuel is fresh and new, with additive and filtered, besides that would effect all cylinders not just 1+2...But thanks anyway
  7. The pushrods on 1+2 cylinders were damaged, be that being due to sticking cam followers or valves or weak return springs???? so to be safe all was changed..

All ignition system is new, problem lies with 1+2 as when HT leads are disconnected the engine tone stays the same, disconnect the other 3<6cyl engine tone drops..Im running engine without rocker cover and side covers, getting oil to all..Will be back on it again on Monday...Will let you know the outcome..

The vehicles are WC52 and command car, Kubelwagon, Willy's Jeep, Bedford QL, Humber and Morris Quad Luckily he wasnt allowed to touch our GMC's and SAURER.. Thanks for your help..
