My old engine, im either going to take it apart and refurb it myself or sell it to him. I think hes putting it in some old piece but said if its FBW its to much effort apperently. But now I guess ill refurb it and sell it on now then. Thanks homes
Mine grinds a tad in 3rd when cold or when ragging it. When its hot its fine though. I use ATF Would like some 75/80 gear oil but its not bad enought o worry really.
Arg, well the only reason I'm asking is because a mate of mine wants my old engine for his track toy apperently.
New ECU, thats not very funny
Anyone else confirm please?
I have done a search but not found much info really.
Basically how difficult is it to pop a 172PH1 throttle body on a 182? (not for me just finding out some info for a friend)
Just so you have a mech body rather than electronic.
Thanks
13 pence for a 500ml bottle of washing up liquid ;) That be tescos own btw lol (lots of sodium chloride just the way we like it)
Just rinse it off throughly afterwards!
Okay then next step is to have a look at the cat then, it wont be the plugs but if you wanna change them then thats fair enough. Has the cambelt been done recently?
Your burning oil in cylinder one, piston ring possibly? maybe valve seals if your lucky. Dont know aboutt he coolant though if the oils not milky then probably not the HG
I'm not being funny but if the car doest misfire then whats the point changing the plugs. If the fuels being ignited then thats pretty much it really.
Check air filter induction hoses etc etc.. for loose connections anything that could be blocking it. Dirty filter etc..
Check exhaust manily...
Give them a little bit of penetrating fluid if there seized or tight and let it soak. Should be fine though. Dont taight them to much either. I just use cheap dot4 with no problems just change it quite often
what about if you had the butterly facing towards the flow of air without a filter surely at 60+ mph this would give some sort of forced induction ;)
Edit: an also a fked engine of course!!
