Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

il upload vids now

 

[dunlop]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

sounds like the timing is out.still. do a comp test now you've got it timed up.


edit, thinking about it, when my mate put his pipers in on standard timing its was slower than standard. took a while to get the timing right, he advanced both cams and got loads from it then.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

im talking like, no power, at all.....its slower than my 1.2 was

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Hmm it doesn't sound healthy jord. I'm sure you'll sort it out mate. Big rush before Friday though.

 

[dunlop]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

sounds very cam'd lol.

get your standard cams and put the pullies on them so you'll have a half decent idea if the lobes are in the right places.

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

they are the cams i got with the head, standard williams head?

 

[Chrisjk]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Correct firing order?

 

[Mark One]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

doesent quite sound like it's running on all cylinders there. ditto what dunlop said, do another compression test maybe.

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

yeah mate, just about to put some pics up of compression test and spark plugs....some odd stuff going on

 

[The Boosh!]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Jord... I know whats up with it..



















AIDS.
Cant believe how much agro its giving you. should have left it alone and bought a 182 hehe.
Hope you get it sorted though!

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

ok.....spark plugs are in order, left: cylinder 1, 2, 3, 4

Compression Cylinder 1

Compression Cylinder 2

Compression Cylinder 3

Then the starter motor started playing up when I got to cylinder 4, will have to try that in the morning....god knows about the spark plugs

 

[Christopher]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Something's not right there

Still sounds out, even though you've got compression :S

Idle sounds mint though! lol

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

cylinder four is down also, been suggested by a few people the valves are bent.....f***s sake!

im going to have to rip the head off tommorow i guess, luckily i have 'spare' valves that are usable if need be, i wont be making the mistake with the f**king timing again, whatever idiot did those white marks can die! nearly a tenner per damaged valve down the pan.....

technically it wont take long to rectify if the guides are not damaged, i guess tommorow will reveal more....... will be f**king 120 quid down the pan if it aint running for friday, i wont have a car for oulton meh

 

[Christopher]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Shafted!

 

[superbenji88]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

you going oulton park on friday 19th?
hope you get it all sorted as i think this is one of the best clio's ever!

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

nah, the 12th mate, 3 days time....

 

[Gray]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Absooooooooooooolute shitter!

keep your chin up mate..

 

[dunlop]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

yeah bent valves on cyl 2 and 4.

take the cams out, and then do a test. this will determin a better test to see which valves are gone.

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

do what test with the cams out?

 

[dunlop]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

compression

 

[Mark One]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

I think your just going to want to whip the head off and check all the valves if you've got time.
such a farkin shame.
Anyways, don't worry about the cash.....can't take it with you an that

And don't listen to people saying you shoulda got a 1*2, the Mk1 is so much more fun!

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

mk2s are w**k and boring....thats why i got a mk1

cylinder four is 0, yes, zero compression, lol....f***s sake, just about to take the head off now

 

[Christopher]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Flanged valves FTL

 

[mini-valver]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Oh noes.....

Re-lap your old vavles on cylinder 4, and check the others. Mine were noticeable bent, you might not be so lucky.....

 

[superbenji88]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

im sure you will have the beast sorted by then

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

it seems cylinder 2 is a bit down on compression, and 4 is dead, so it must be the valves in those two. luckily i have spare valves lol, just about to lift the head off now to see

 

[Balders172]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

good luck matey

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Oh noes.....

Re-lap your old vavles on cylinder 4, and check the others. Mine were noticeable bent, you might not be so lucky.....

wont it be obvious if they are bent, ie. stuck open?

 

[mini-valver]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Some will be, some can be fractional and you'll only tell by leak testing them.

Turn the head upside down and fill each bowl with petrol, see which ones seep petrol through the valves.

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

right ok cool, will get on with it now and see how it goes

 

[B5 BDJ]
