JP - Brilliant, I owe you one, thanks very much. Not sure where I will be able to put a catch can in mine though (had a job finidng somewhere to put the winscreen washer bottle) but I'll fit one somewhere. Yours looks like a Capri engine bay?

Compression is good, we did a compression test when the valve burned out to find out why & where it was mis-firing in the first place.
