Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project [Year 3 - Engine and Chassis Rebuild]
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 tried turning over by hand with the gauge on and all the cylinders showed zero?

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
I understand the point Dan is making, just as long as Jord is enjoying the project and not letting it get on top of him. Plus Jord aint no quitter! Im sure 90% of people now would have given up long ago! lol
Im sure when this is running Jord will have a big sense of achievment and also a Hybrid weapon

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
Jords project is very insteresting and he isn't trying to cowboy it etc he is just doing a project himself and learning about it etc. He can already do more than 95% of people on here etc.
Imo there is too much of abusing peoples project thread on this forum. I think if you haven't got any constructive comments then don't comment atall as naith says above.
Hope its good new on the project btw.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
foxy shame about the problems you've having dude, but consider it extra learning as you go along.
And chill ladies, dans apologised for coming across wrong, be man enough to accept it or just leave it as tbh drunkenmunkey your dick is up foxys arse currently, i think he can look after his self, judging by the thread.

lmfbo @ the last couple of pages....
Dan - it did come across as a bit of a nasty post fella... But you dont learn anything if you do not do stuff like this yourself.
I've been chatting to jord most evenings about this engine and f**k me its just pure bad luck tbh. If the timing marks were correctly done this wouldnt of happend. But, im sure it isnt the first time nor the last time sombody will do this lol.
It seems he's had some 33mm valves IE megane f7r valves which would of caused a problem. Not sure if hes updated since that...
I say get stuck in fella like i did at your age, its the best way to learn... ive never understood paying garage prices.
DIY engine building FTW
Lets all bloiw jord a kissy kiss.... Mwahhhhhh

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
LOL at whats been happening while ive been outside, oh well....here goes, its all good news btw
Started by removing the head from the block, to see only two cylinders had been firing...
Then upon closer inspection it seemed the exhaust valves had touched at one point...
Maybe was caused when the timing was originally out.... Anyway....
Checked the pistons, they looked ok...
On closer inspection, they have been touched slightly...
Nothing to worry about really....
Anyway went on to checking out the head, I was getting good compression from cylinders 1 and 3, and bad from 2 and 4. When looking at 2 and 4, you could see the light through the block!!
Anyway, whipped the valves out, and compared them with the williams ones that were originally in the head when I got it. It seems the 'new' ones i got, were a tiny bit larger...which would obviously cause problems. This also tallied up with there being gaps in the seat, either due to me not lapping them correctly, or them being the wrong valves, or a bit of both....
Megane inlets are 33mm, Williams are 32mm....probably could be the cause of many of my problems....Thankfully the exhaust valves are the same.
Re-lapped the williams valves that came with the head, and fitted them....
Then fitted the cams back onto the head...
Once they were both fitted, put the head back onto the block in the car...
And left it at that for today....
Checked the inlet and exhaust valves before refitting, and they were sealed properly this time, no light could be seen through either, so hopefully it will be all good and run nice!
