    Alright lads so the car is in for a misfire diagnoses and the chap is coming back saying he reckons timing chain has skipped a tooth or two. I dont know my arse from my elbow when it comes to these things but from what i read online i thought the positions of the marks on the cam gears looked alright. Can anyone else tell me otherwise? This is as it sits.

    Not quite.
    Maybe you need to turn more until those brighter ones show up.
    Do you have a timing gun, do you have slack in your chain, does your chain tensioner work?

    To be honest I've never seen brighter ones while turning it over in the past! That lad who has it has a gun so as the car was sitting up five years I think the next step is a new tensioner, take everything off and start from scratch.
