It didn't explode on first attempt but does run like utter shite lots of popping and seems to struggle or occasionally stall when revving up gradually. If revving hard it seems ok until driving where it lacks all power. Just driving 50m...

I've searched for alpha seats in here and vzi but have found...

    End float, does this sound right?

    My crankshaft seal had been leaking oil so removed it and the flywheel o ring. In this configuration I measured 0.24mm Endfloat using a DTI clamped to the case measuring close to the centre of the flywheel. I fitted new shims to achieve Endfloat of 0.09 - 0.10 mm within Haynes tolerances of...
