what was the issue in the end? sounds good and imagine once roller'd it'll be even smoother.

We gain knowledge faster than we do wisdom!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

crank sensor too far from the trigger wheel, reduced the gap to half a mm and pow!
Had to make a few tweeks to the pulse width, fueling and spark angle but apart from that it wasn't too much bother.

That's bizarre, I would have never have thought you could get an RPM signal on the ECU but not enough to run the engine. Well you learn
something new every day

Very clattery top end there chief.
The old Pinto gives the cam a hard life at the best of times.
Maybe best to pull the cam cover and double check you have the clearances right.
Something's amiss there and it's best caught soon.

Yes deffo check your tappets and while you are at it make sure there is good oil feed down the spray bar.

the cam has double valve springs in it, they are not your normal tappets either, they are HD Tappets from Millington, wider & thicker, the cam is
out of a 2.4 pinto, very lumpy indeed!
The engine is out of the car now as the clutch isn't engaging! looks like the forks on the pressure plate are too long so it need replacing with
a normal pressure plate.

Defo needs the valve clearances looking at mate.
I hope my titanium padded followers are still in my millington head.!!!!
The ones fitted in yours are long pad kent cams followers, if anyone should know, its me, its my old engine, i built the thing.!!!.
