Hello gentlemen,
I have sold my healey 100 and now own a beautiful GT. I am trying to diagnose why it it has all of a sudden one morning it started running rough.
1. very hard to start and to warm up
2. loss of power when driving, like running on 3 cylinders
3. took the air filters off and 'seems' to run a bit better
4. On revving the car and the air filters off - the front SU piston does not lift up as much as the back piston ( is a sign Ive blown the head gasket?)
5. seems to runs and rev more freely when warm, but still loss of power.
Do I have a carbie issue?running too rich? or have I possibly got a 'slightly' blown head gasket
Any help will be appreciated - thank you in advance
