Re: Wire size

Thanks for that much appreciated, another quick question I've got the orange/red rear lights on my car I'd quite like to put the original lights back on, the ones where the brake light flashes as the indicator, as it has a flasher relay is this a straight swap

Re: misfire now no power

Compression good, water down in radiator, tappet clearance good, spark seems even, plugs good colour, replaced head with unleaded one torqued it down to 44, recently read torquing to 60 needed because head gaskets not as good
