if you slacken the bolts, the timing is altered anyway

Ok, you were all right! It seems it was the timing. Kev has seriously advanced the belt, spent all day working on it yesterday and at one point it was blowing proper smoke rings but this morning went out and it started first time and no smoke! fantastic, thanks so much.Antonia
