Driving around the yard? Careful now, you're getting the underside of the car dirty :P

 

Good stuff :no2:

shit !!

can ride with me if the need arises :P

tried kicking it? always made me feel better with the temper tantrum 1g...

Shit, Bugger, Poo, Bum.......

 

shall talk tonight on msn matey.

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

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

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.

and so the turbo build begins

booyeah!

Is a quick rebuild or freshen up on the cards ?

Take the plug lead off number 2 and see if it still knocks then.

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 :)

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: :( :(
