Back to the mark I had made and the a little anti clockwise and it felt much better. Now engine runs more smoothly in lower revs and hey presto it is cool again. Tick over 85-90 and 80-85 on the dual carriage way. Does not creep up whilst ticking over either.
Oil pressure........ made a wire to ensure I have a good earth off the sender unit body and hey presto the oil pressure is better than before. 75 on start up 50 on dual cabbage way and 30 at hot tick over. ( and very low revs)
Engine will also tick over much more smoothly now down as low at 600 if you want, set it at 800.
Finally even after a moderate thrash just now( taking it easy on new engine) there is no run on after turn off.
Seems as though the distributor had moved a little over the past few weeks , marked it now and snugged it down nicely.
Off to do some miles this week if it stays dry and the fuel tanker can keep up with me .
