not really mate, i grabbed the wheel when it was off the ground and tried to move it up and down to see if it was the top mounts but that was all i checked really.
What should i check next and how?
Basically i was getting clucking from low gear acceleration and also somtimes if i hit a bump in the road. My gearstick was also moving back and forwards on and off throttle.
Iv just finished changing my mount but its still clunking! :( Good news is at least the gear stick is solid now!:clown...
ok guys ill take a close look, i reckon i will replace the dogboen anyway and see if that helps because the gearstick does move back and forward slightly when you come on and off throttle.
I am getting a clucking noise when i accelerate frm standstill sometimes, also when i hit bumps in the road i get it sometimes, it doesnt always happen though. Any ideas?

I think ill get it rolling roaded at uni and see what power its putting out and go from there! :)
Im not fussed about running lumpy, i quite like the sound of a lumpy idle! I just want it set up to be running at its optimum, no point in having unused potential!
Possiblity of no gains? surely not!?
kent cams 1601 are what its running, the engine was only rebuild 4k ago with a new cambelt etc. So can the timing nto be adjusted without a new cambelt etc? How much of a job is it? How much will it cost me to get it done?
If i dotn remap it will it run badly?
What sort of gains would i be...
Basically i have bought a car (mk1 valver) with kent cams and vernier pulleys, and a gas flowed/ported head but the guy who had the cams fitted had the pulleys/timing reveretd back to standard as he says it was very lumpy idle and he didnt like it? He said he has marked up the pulleys etc with...
