[JamesV6CDX]

JamesV6CDX - before ripping engines apart, do the std service - fuel filters, ait filters, oil, breathers and so on.

All in the plan - in fact, is what I was doing tonight

So stop moaning about economy until those basic steps have been done

Not moaning - but I see that having the valve timing right IS a crutial step towards getting it spot on, don't you agree?

As is doing the basics.

Not disputing the basics make a difference -

But for the purpose of the question assume that is done, but the two cams are still slightly out.

Will half a tooth out make a noticable difference to either performance or economy,  in your experience, yes or no

Slight difference, yes, but not enough to account for your economy.

Thanks

In which case, once that's done, COMBINED with a full service, it should be somewhere towards better

I would have done it the other way round - a known good service that then gives you a baseline to start from.

I agree, but poor economy aside, I had a bigger concern, about no cambelt history.

I'm sure you'll agree that any Omega purchase with no cambelt history needs a kit put on there as a priority

And under the circumstances, it's a blessing I'm not driving it, given the state of the cambelt kit

Omega ECU gives response to how you drive..if few hours you drive in sporty style ECU increases the fuel..This is my experience if I'm not wrong..

ps: assuming other engine parameters in good condition..


one thing to add , even a very small leak on exhaust line can effect

consumption

Always best to have all settings correct, as they say in Tesco, every little helps.
