How bad is it? Could be a relatively simple fix.

Hoping for easy fix but working out options to take to the financial controller

Think I have lost a cyclinder what's best option reco the moter or engine swap.? 

Whats the easiest swap to do?

I have always had good results using fisholine

Tow rope, CRC and jumper leads

Watt yo kill rust is good stuff. After that try a nix of old oil and grease as this tracks into every crack and will self seal after gravel rash

i thought i had it correct as firing order is 1-3-4-2? it does run fine but is smokey

I have 2 &3 crossed and it ran good but smokey.

In the finish I took rocker cover off to check number 1 opening and set timing from there. That was 180 out.

Mate check your plug leads they look like they out of order. Mine was the same run ok but smoked for 4 years then after a tune up found that plug leads mixed up sorted that smoking cleared. Looking at you pic #3 is where #1 is on mine

I got the carbine on my B1600 rebuilt at a shop in Manaukau City cost about $400. I t came back all set to factory specs just bolt it on and start it up. They did a good job on it came back like new

Gamely and Richardson Old Papatoetoe
