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.

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

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.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

doesent quite sound like it's running on all cylinders there. ditto what dunlop said, do another compression test maybe.
 
Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Something's not right there :(

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

Idle sounds mint though! lol
 
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

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.

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!
 
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

Oh noes.....

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

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.
