yea the engine is massively down on power would the timing really be out just after a head skim? valve? -
ok so last week i had the head skimmed as i blew a my head gasket, new pd150 head bolts put in whilst i was there. the car before was mapped to 183bhp. i gets the car back driving home and the car physically cant do more than 36mpg is this a known thing to happen, the car is sluggish no power whatsoever i know this is because of the compression and all that but really that bad? now the major problem i really need help with......the car started fine when i left the garage drove home fine other than the above, on my way back to work i filled up came out went to start the car and it seemed hesitant.....then started but as soon as the revs settled back down to 900rpm it stalled itself :( finaly got it started with a few extra revs to keep it going drove 200 miles back to work was fine got back allowed it to cool down turned it off. went out to it in the morning went to start it and the problem was alot worse now it starts and cuts out almost instantly. when it was in the garage the mechanic said the glow plug wiring harness was deteriorated could this be the main problem? thank you guys in advance chris

how and what is a sniff test? How's the test done (i know by smelling the exhaust but wjat would i be smelling for?

So on this people are talking of a thicker head gasket where do I get one from please? And is there anything else I should maybe change/check whilst I'm in there. Thank you all for your time

Ok so now a debate and confusion should I skim the head or not.....The car hasn't ever over heated so would there be a need to skim? Also does anyone know where the arl head bolts come from?
