pinking is cute tho.

pinking = english version
pinging = american version


much more yanks than poms

That makes sense
I've always used pinging as it sound like whats happening, the engine makes a "ping' sound repeatedly.
Anyway, new cam, lifters and timing chain are in, heads are back on, inlet manifold back on. Crank pully shaft is worn, so need to replace or speedy sleeve, hopefully that will stop one of the oil leaks
The old cam was stuffed, inlet on 3 was really worn down chain was really sloppy too.
