Do you get spark on the plugs?

On mine once the pin holding "connectormajig"* to the CAS shaft broke which resulted in no spark to the plugs or erratic spark at best.

ok guys i removed the cylinder head of my SX ... the compression on all cylinders were real bad.

I got a quote on a gasket set from nissan for the complete head for R2511 and the head bolts with the washers for R1100 and the waiting time on the head bolts is 21 days +-.

Are there any other places i should consider to buy or can i reuse the same headbolts which i am not keen on doing at all.

So i redid the cylinder head and the car is ticking over nicely again.

Now to test the systems again...Sure all is well.
