Trigger angle is the angle before/after the trigger at which the coil/injection fires. If the figures are wrong or the setup in the ECU was changed, this means your timing will be way off.

Try checking the timing while it's on power on the dyno.

Hmm ok interesting. Will look into that, cheers. The more ideas the better. I really do hope it is something simple and not the CR as I really don't want to take that head off again.

If we can't sort it out here in Townsville and The Mafia in Mackay can't work it out it's road trip time to a bunch of Brisbane workshops, so you may get a phone call one day :thumbsup:

Forget about CR. It has nothing to do with that

Unless the machinist took off like 0.5mm.....but even then, the head would be pretty f**ked anyway. You can't take off that much material. The only reason that much material would need to be removed is if it had a MASSIVE warp in it, which it wouldn't have had. I cooked my old cylinder head years ago so bad that it MELTED THE COIL PACKS and even that would only have required a 15thou cut to level it

Your problem is located elsewhere

Oh ok awesome. That is very good to hear. Like I said, the CR idea never popped into my head until my tuner said it may be a cause. It started making a bit of sense but I had no idea how much machinist's take off on the head, hence why I started this thread.

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
