Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project just stripped the head down, cams and tappets out.....all the valves look the same height, none lower than others, dont know if i would notice that like.....anyway.... i need to do a compression test again i guess, is it ok to turn over on the key? or not... i...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project right ok cool, will get on with it now and see how it goes

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project wont it be obvious if they are bent, ie. stuck open?

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

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

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project do what test with the cams out?

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project nah, the 12th mate, 3 days time....

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...

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...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah mate, just about to put some pics up of compression test and spark plugs....some odd stuff going on

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project they are the cams i got with the head, standard williams head?

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project im talking like, no power, at all.....its slower than my 1.2 was http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n113/f0xy_2006/--%20The%20MK1/?action=view&current=MOV00330.flv http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n113/f0xy_2006/--%20The%20MK1/?action=view&current=MOV00332.flv

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah, lol got some videos, i let it idle for 30 mins, then took it down the road and back slowly, no power there at all.... il upload vids now

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project ok, it started first time :) very very chuggy....sounds like its misfiring....but just gonna investigate now

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project my other engine had white marks on the pullies, and looking at those closer someone had put the white on top of the OE marks, so it worked....this time i just took it for granted.... now its retimed, im told cylinder one should be exactly like it is... and the pullies...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project ok ive timed it up, just going to get some pics up of the cams for someone to verify now its properly in time, then will put it back together

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project so did i dude, the other head that was on had white marks painted over the OE ones now i come to think of it, so i took that as granted this time round

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project The actual timing marks are in the red circles, why the f**k anyone would put white marks on the pullies if they were not for timing i dont know, the little indents on the pullies (circled) are the timing marks....so each pulley is 90 degrees out.... Im going to re-do...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project I think i have found the problem....thanks to someone over on clio16valver, will try now and see if it fires up...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project i bought the head from someone on clio16valver, and ive built the engine u numpty lol

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project from williamsclio.co.uk thats the dizzy end, and it looks like the same sort of timing as mine is, same angles to each other i mean

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project surely there has to be pics of an open williams head somewhere for me to compare, as I dont want to be taking the belt off and cams fully out and then find out it wasnt the timing? im 99.99999% sure they are standard, as the guy took the head off his williams which the...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project :S hmmmmm, im sure the numbers on them were the renault ones id seen over on clio16valver

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project i have a set of those four LEDs, that go inbetween the HT Lead and dizzy cap, is that what you mean? Im going to test that when someone gets here with a car so i can hook some jump leads up to my battery to start it

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project used a renault timing pin through the front of the block when we timed it up, dropped in, and there was no movement in the crank at all when tried to move it by hand....so i must have locked it in the right position, and the cams must be right in time with it

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project just had the cam cover off..... thats at TDC, not sure which line its meant to line upto like on the box casing?!?

camera as said... http://www.vimeo.com/1217828 1.2 on track ftw

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah double checked cold start injector earlier, all good the coilpack was the one i drove there on, so it was working i have a spare starter yeah, so thats not a problem, just a pain just tried to test firing order, but batteries flat again lol

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project ok, just compression tested all cylinders.... 150PSI from every cylinder, surely that means the timing is correct? Just about to test the ignition order with some little thing from halfrauds, im guessing thats right too the engine has stopped turning over now, think...
