ah cool, the mk1 charcoal canister has no such connection, so off it comes! :D

next up in my never ending list of 172 questions ;) I'm trying to thin down my loom to fit to the mk1, so need to get rid of anything that wont be used in the mk1 I have a few loom connectors that I'm not sure of 1st is the 3pin connector that branches off where the starter motor...

there's a company local to me called 'mobile cambelts' I'm going to buy a compression tester tomorrow and test it then I'm going to call them and see if they can time it up for me..

yeh would want it done earlier :D if i've bent the valves, it would show up on a compression test wouldnt it? - I'll go get one of them done before i continue with the engine... if it fails the compression test.. i don't know if it's worth me pouring more money into the engine.. as i could...

need someone to come out to my house ;) just I don't want to have to spend out more money on the tools to only use them once (even though they may be handy in the future)

ffs :( this engine is gonna bankrupt me :( anyone in the south east fancy doing it for me? :o

so, ive gotta take the cambelt off, realign it all, cambelt back on and tension it up properly?

ah... do they ever work loose? or is it shoddy workmanship? so i guess the cambelt has slipped?

quick vid showing the cambelt play... seems far too loose to me

got a whole spare engine? ;)

more stuff to buy? :( ffs

we were halfway there when we decided it wasnt worth it and went home looks like we were right ;)

how do you check to see if a cambelt is on properly and the cams etc are properly timed in? there are no timing marks as far as i can see :( also, how tight/loose should the cambelt be, on mine i can wiggle the belt around quite freely! just wondering if it might have slipped a few teeth...

can't see them listed, do you have to email/call them about a set for the 172?

yeh, that's how I've currently got it set up (seemed logical :D)

should i attach lead 1 to coil pack 1 4 to 2 3 to 3 2 to 4? ditz, it was just on idle when i removed the plugs - i removed them for a good 10-20s each and quite far from the coil, so they could not 'jump'

white should look brilliant!! :D :D
