update for ryans car

we were cruisin through the hills when ryans car started running like a truck

couldn't get it started so had to roll start it.

he didn't quite get home after boostin it back to his place so looks like we'll be seeing whats going on there tomorrow

Car is NOT running at all :cool:

 

I think it may be plugs and Luc thinks it might be a piston ring (worst case scenario)

 

Looks like a day off of work to get the rest of the new 4k bolted together and hopefully drop it in N/A

 

f@$k, Not my lucky weekend.

Broken ring won't stop it running, at least not until it shatters into tiny bits, jams in the piston and causes a hole down the side!

 

It will make a definate little clicking knock as the piston won't be held tight and will slap.

 

More like head gasket... or something quite serious.. :cool:

Luc thinks it might be a push rod or two that have jumped the rocker like what happend to him.

 

Piecing new engine together with jason as we speak (lookin for monotorque torque specs)

Didn't the torque settings come with the new head gasket?

 

I have an original manual, if that is any help?

Got the 30 home from out front of a mates place just before sundown today. swapped the plugs for good ones out of the 4k I'm building. still running like shit.

 

Turns out to be the carbs leaking like FARK, especially around the accelerator pump. Oh well, kesev carb in the shed.

 

EDIT: Looks as if jason maybe coming round tommorow, if he does he just made $50

By the way, if you need anymore help I am a bum at the moment and have nothing to do at all.

So i think you have my phone number now, give me a hoot if you want some help with shiz.
