Does it seem weasier (is that a word?) at high RPM?  If so you are 
likely off a tooth as advancing or retarding the cam just moves the 
power band (as I am sure you know).  Another possiblity is that your cam 
was off before and now it is correct.

Sorry no experience on that issue.  Luckily it is fairly easy to get 
at,  you just have to dump all that coolant first.


BTW how do people here in the states get rid of their coolant?  I can't 
seem to get anyone to take mine and I am staring to get quite a 
collection.  I have been told before that small amounts can be put into 
the sewer, but I have a septic system and a well so it is not going down 
the drain.  Twice a year we have a hazardous waste disposal day, but I 
always seem to miss it.  Is that my only appropriate option?
