Cable throttle conversion and omex 600 is money better spent than cams as a first step IMHO. Transforms throttle response.

tried a different de-phaser pulley yet? if it's lost it's "tension" (for want of a better phrase) internally it could be slopping about

insert in the end of the shrick exhaust cam for the timing tool location had moved. estimate by eye it had rotated some 30 degrees. Couldn't see it until we took the cam out, all the tools lined up perfectly.

All fixed and fast again :D that was a proper brain tester

loved my banger 205 diesel, shame the balljoints were shagged, car was worth less than a new set lol

maybe I should show him my faded peeling laquer on my roof and bonnet. Patina ;)

you can tell that just from the price? wow you're good!!!!! sounds a bargain to me, I'd buy it from that description

er it's split the mount and jumped out of the cradle. Only thing garage may have donw wrong IMO is not spotted a very poor condition mount

CHRIST!!!!!!! think I'll order up that new mount for my 205 before it splits totally and does the same now

that's the kiddy :)

on a 182 it's piss easy.

no, furthur forward on the belhousing there is an inspection hole with degrees marked

there's a line cut into the trigger wheel part of the flywheel, as standard there's some coloured paint that highlights it. If you get the crank to TDC it should be really obvious. I need to take some pics of this stuff to make it easier to describe really

Wouldn't have run my car without warming it up properly first, doesn't inspire confidence that he didn't care :(, The dyno I visit most regularly (Surrey Rolling Road) you know about 15 minutes before your runs so you can drive the car about or even just let it idle for a bit.

Always check the mark on the flywheel, more accurate than the pin (Use the pin too anyway) Also never torque the bottom pulley just using the pin, you have to wedge the flywheel or it can move 5 degrees or more and risks bending the pin

depends how much you trust the standard gauge TBH. Was the car not driven to the rolling road before the run?

if the tool slots straight in the cams and the mark on the flywheel lines up exactly to the 0 line on the gearbox, you're OK

which rollers? That's about right for a 182 on truly genuine rollers. Only way to tell would be compare it to another healthy 182 on the same rollers

sounds like the mechanic has seen the keyways in the crank and pulley, they aren't used. Worries me that he's seen them though as the bottom pulley has to be removed for this, if the timing wasn't out before I'll pretty much guarantee it is now :(

turbo the 1.2 ;)

36k is correct, basically every 3rd 12k service

nah sorry but that's just not right, you can adjust the load applied to the dyno rollers. Mustang is a brand name.

something massively wrong there. Odd as I've also heard powerstation are normally OK

What sort of rollers is powerstation?

Frigging awesome. Rev 5s are one of my favourite wheels of all time, and now they have DISH :D:D:D

I've used Wurth studs on many turbo cars. If things rattle loose it's normally because of the way the exhaust moves in relation to the engine. Bracing is the key, exhaust paste on the threads works brilliantly as threadlock

extra injectors is just nasty, that's a very outdated practice

lol, OK seen similar do OK and also seen them s**t themselves HARD. Normally ok if oil pressure is healthy. if those numbers are accurate (probably not really TBH) then it's quite a capable turbo and you shouldn't need to run a lot of boost. Bit of a suck it and see job really but atleast it was...

got a link to where it came from or anything?
