removed head today, gasket was splitting on inner bore rings on 3 of the 4, also oil was leaking from oil port to cylinder 3, checked head with straight edge after cleaning, no sign of distortion on head face so will be getting new gasket on monday and fitting, will also check valve clearances while ive got it off
fitted new gasket and set timing, problem was still there but to a lesser degree, went and got a gallon of diesel and put feed and return pipes direct into fuel can. engine now revs freely and no smoke, turned out to be fuel filter on end of pickup pipe in tank. thank you for all your suggestions which were greatly appreciated
