    As it stopped when you fitted the seal, I think you were right and exhaust fumes had been getting into the engine bay. With one cylinder not firing it would have been petrolly/exhaust smelling.

    He certainly was not, I used to pay Paul to come and weld my van long before I started doing this stuff for a living.

    He won't do that until the air leaks have made the engine go all lumpy as the valve seats regress into the head. :)

  12. Spark powerful enough?
    Spark at the right time?
    Enough fuel getting into the cylinders?
    Compression enough?
    Valve clearances sufficient?

    Count yerself lucky it's a T2 problem, any modern vehicle it would be a nightmare :eek:
