Re: Assessing an unknown engine
I did however find a couple of hours this evening to progress the engine. Off with the IMS cover. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240424/a738b8a7cb2af18389c27ae830c2d62b.jpg And I was beginning to suspect a different story for this engine. I had noticed previous that the cam covers had sealant ar...

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
No progress yesterday due to accompanying my 14 year old daughter to see the latest pop sensation live at XOYO in Birmingham. I'm still equally cool as I was when young. This dude looked like a lady, which was a song from my youth this band did not play. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240424/a2a...

Re: Engine issue
Hi James, Thank you for replying. I'll take a look again tomorrow but I don't think any connectors have come loose. It was all put together well during the restoration. I do occasionally get a popping sound from the exhaust once the car has warmed up. Giulio at Gary Cook's said this was the case wh...

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
Can you split a case without removing the pistons? Will the case move pass the stuck piston? Sent from my 22011119UY using Tapatalk Yes, but at this point you can pull the circlips out, knock the gudgeon pins through and pull them off. Possibly. The crank's at 90 degrees so some are alongside each ...

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
quite looking forward to seeing the condition inside My money's on damage within the cam drive system because those pistons have hit valves and the cam nut probably got tightened. Maybe some bent and broken teeth on the IMS drive? The crank rocks back and forwards a few degrees suggesting to me som...

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
The piston isn't stuck. All barrels now off. Something within the case is stopping the crank from turning.neilbardsley wrote:Can you split a case without removing the pistons? Will the case move pass the stuck piston?

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
A quick way to prove if it is fuel related and not ignition is to spray some easy start into the air box, it should cough or splutter if the ignition system is good. I'm not so sure easy start is the way to go because I've a hunch it will spontaneously combust under compression, thereby not ruling ...

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
Not being one to give up easily, I returned to the last stubborn cylinder after 24 hours soaking in transmission fluid and carb cleaner. In a rare moment of lucidity I realised the seized piston couldn't be restricting the crank's movement, because I could tap the cylinder up and down on the piston ...

You say you have fuel pressure and no smell of fuel, so the injectors aren't receiving a signal. I'd focus on confirming that fact.

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
First off, check all connectors are well-seated and retry starting. Then check all fuses, especially fuel system and ecu. Then fill a petrol can and empty the contents into the tank, and retry. Confirm that you checked spark on the plug lead not on the centre lead. Confirm that you earthed your timi...

Re: Old Sckool 5 cc model Diesel engine build
Speaking as somebody who owned a few flying toys as a kid, this is a lot of work for something that's going to get stuck in a tree.
Great work - keep moving forwards!

I thought you were originally asking for a set of 90mm pistons & barrels for a 2.2L not a 2.4 ?
