Jason KE30 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 update for ryans car we were cruisin through the hills when ryans car started running like a truck couldn't get it started so had to roll start it. he didn't quite get home after boostin it back to his place so looks like we'll be seeing whats going on there tomorrow Quote
SLO-030 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Posted February 1, 2009 Car is NOT running at all :cool: I think it may be plugs and Luc thinks it might be a piston ring (worst case scenario) Looks like a day off of work to get the rest of the new 4k bolted together and hopefully drop it in N/A f@$k, Not my lucky weekend.

altezzaclub Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Broken ring won't stop it running, at least not until it shatters into tiny bits, jams in the piston and causes a hole down the side! It will make a definate little clicking knock as the piston won't be held tight and will slap. More like head gasket... or something quite serious.. :cool: Quote
SLO-030 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 Luc thinks it might be a push rod or two that have jumped the rocker like what happend to him. Piecing new engine together with jason as we speak (lookin for monotorque torque specs) Quote
woteva Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Piecing new engine together with jason as we speak (lookin for monotorque torque specs) Didn't the torque settings come with the new head gasket? I have an original manual, if that is any help? A. Quote

SLO-030 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 Yea it came with the torque specs on the board, just couldnt find them :cool: Found them in the end and the head is all torqued down tight. Quote

SLO-030 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) yees indeedy Got the 30 home from out front of a mates place just before sundown today. swapped the plugs for good ones out of the 4k I'm building. still running like shit. Turns out to be the carbs leaking like FARK, especially around the accelerator pump. Oh well, kesev carb in the shed. EDIT: Looks as if jason maybe coming round tommorow, if he does he just made $50 Edited February 2, 2009 by SLO-030 Quote
