Hey guys, need some assistance please!
Recently changed the 138 grey motors head gasket and now she won't start!
All steps were followed by the Gregory, now she won't start, tappets are set at .13 inlet and .17 outlet, I can't get her warm and check the tappets at .08 (inlet) and .12(outlet). Electronic ignition has been implemented and does get spark.

I'm located in Newcastle van. My dad left the tools for me to be able to take the box and sump off. I've got the time to do it and it's not like she's going anywhere

Cheers, jake

The whole engine had been refurbished in terms of push rods, pistons, cam, rockers. I just don't have access to an engine crane and would make a worlds difference if I did. I just can't take her down the the shop because she doesn't have rego. Is it possible to just jack her up, drop the gearbox out and just replace it in car?

Fellas, my rear main has started to piss out at a hell of a rate. Just wondering, how easy is it on a scale of 1-10 to pull my gearbox out and do my rear main my self? She's a project in the shed. My dad passed away when I was 6 and I'm now 15, trying to get her registed.

Hi all, just an update.
Did the Ol' 180 turn and retarded it it in the crankcase and now runs.
Thanks for the help :)

Hi all, setting up the timing on 138 grey, put a pertronix electronic ignition in, new coil, semi new leads and plugs but she still won't start. The ball on the flywheel to identify that it is 7 degrees advance
The carby has been refurbished 3 months ago, had a new pump diaphragm Kit in but still won't start, any ideas?
On straigh fuel or a start ya bastard type sprays it will backfire through the carb
My dad passed away when I was 6, now 16 and working on it, I need some help please! Q
