Dear Aunt Whitney

Let soul diva Whitney Houston to sort out your troubles! Dear Aunt Whitney, I've just changed the timing chain on my 1979 Austin Maxi, now I can't get the engine to start. Please help me, I'm at my wit's end.

Clive, Borehamwood.

Dear Clive, WhoooooaoooOOOOooooh reeemember that the balance shafts are ti-ee-eye-ee-eye-med at top dead centre. But since they rotate at twi-ee-eye-ee-eye-ee-eye-ee-ice the speed of the crank shaft, they may also be correctly ti-ee-eye-ee-eye-med at bottom dead centre, oooOOOoooh, yeah. Check that you have the ti-ee-eye-ee-eye-ee-eye-ee-eye-ee-ming marks correctly ali-ee-eye-ee-eye-gned with the marks on the front of the cylinder block. Love- yoooaoooOOOooou, Whitney xx
