If you were fitting a set of second hand cam followers would you compress each one to get all of the old oil out first ?

I've never messed with the camshafts, but I doubt you could put them back in the wrong place, why do you think it could be that? How bad is the misfire? did you change the plug leads?

no just the plugs were replaced :-/

Silly question, was it misfiring before you pulled it apart? Is the engine management light on?

no management light is on and no it wasnt misfiring before  silly question can you put camshafts back in the wrong way ?
