Problem problem problem!!!!
My elan Twincam engine , just restored, no big valves, runs great but .... he doesn?t want to shut down!
I switch the key off but he goes on to run for awhile sometimes with awful noise and a bit of knocking too.
Local engine guru ( who doesn?t know at least one guru in this matter) said that it seems too much high compression rate, but the guy that machines the block and head tested the parts with the final head gasket and the ratio is as per specs .
Are the spark plug to hot?
Could be the distributor not in synch?
Cams? They are brand new, Kent as per original spec , standard stage, nothing special or racing
An electric dispersion that feeds the coil circuit even with the key off?
Anybody experienced trouble like this?
Ciao a tutti
