[QUOTE="brian gains, post: 158789, member: 3153"] yep, second Roy's E0 findings in this neck of the woods. Co incidentally I put some of the 'corn oil' stuff, for the first time, in the Comet last w/e, thought i'd test the water, no pun intended. For the first thirty odd miles I actually thought things were a little crisper with engine response but could have been some placebo effect. Anyhoos after a stop and five miles into the journey it was very noticeable the motor was struggling to pull 4th as normal. Not had a chance to properly investigate things yet, but has the pipe blued a little more?, points are OK, plug doesn't indicate anything catastrophic, exhayst pushrod all in agjustment. Did have a pain starting after a run previous w/e, plug as dry as a bone, after a performance that would have put Jonny Wilkinson to shame, did start eventually and cleaned out pilot and no issue. So i'm thinking maybe timing has slipped, or would that have got swiftly progressively worse?. [/QUOTE]
