Teddy Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 *trying to get a smile back on my face* Ill start with the Good news, and end with, the bad news. Positives - Car progress has been 10-fold latelly, very happy with how its going. - Car looking hotness, eventho theres still things to do, its getting there. Bad news - Motor has developed a badd bottom end rattle, and resulting in the car will no longer be ready for bathurst. Bumsen Scopata Cogida Baise Foda f@$ks sake..

LittleRedSpirit Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 What a heartbreaker, Tedster. I hope its not too bad a problem. I have a junkyardish running bigport if you wanna do a quick swap, but its not really a quick swap kind of car now is it. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLinded_ Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Damn it, what a pain in the arse. I was hoping to see this in the flesh at Bathurst but seems that I'll have to wait a little longer :no2: Hope that you guys can sort it all out and get this bad-boy driving again. Good Luck with it :P -Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Ah, all i can do is laugh at it now. Its that f*cked, it rattels more than a city train carrying crate-loads of spoons and sporks. UGh. Narrowed it down to No.2 cyl. having either broken ring(s), Stuck ring(s), issue in the piston and or gudgen pin. :P :D On another note, ill be taking mums new corolla to bathurst. So all isnt lost.. Today, i did.. (on holidays for 3 weeks) - Dissasembled the air-controle assembly (for like heat to cold / face to demister selector thingie). Cleaned them up, reloobed the tubes, cleaned and adjusted all the mechs, etc. 1 hour later, it feels like new. - Installed lower dash brace assembly - finished re-foaming and re-sealing all the vent pipes and tubes (removed the 20+ yr old foam, all new & no dust !) - installed blowerbox- and wiring - installed the air-controle ass. and adjusted; oooo i enjoy doing comparasons from White car *hard to move dials* to blue car *mmmmm :y:!* - Took car for many straps around yard :no2: - Installed newly re-co' dash top - must get pics of this tomorrow. Ubbbber-hotness. those few things took me from 11am to 5pm to do. Noo, I'm not pedantic or fussy .. As for what to do with the motor.. Well.. mm.. I'm not 100% sure yet. Will make mind up soon.

Trev Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Take the plug lead off number 2 and see if it still knocks then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 YEah, it still knocks. Compresion in 1 3 and 4 - 150 to 155 (dry) Compression in 2 - 120 has copious amounts of oil pressure. oil geting to top of motor (removed covers and checked) removed 20 50 or 15 30 what ever i put in it, and put 25-70 in - somewhat made it quiet-er.., but not really. Sounds like a soe-ing machine running on a metal counter, thats not bolted down :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumblezzz Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 doooood that f@$king sucks! I can't understand why it would let go like that. I had new rings and bearings done before it went in so they could only be 6 months old at the most. Super gay :) :cool: :yes: :( :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
