Crowie55 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 4k is back in just getting me around for the moment. found the problem with the 5k as soon as the head came, a random nut made its way into the piston chamber thingo. (diagram will explain) which was stopping the number 1 piston going all the way to the top and sparking. (which is why the crank wouldnt turn) everything thing else is fine and not chipped/broken/cracked so the 5k should be getting dropped back in this weekend :) that drag race is still on reed That is a relief! question: what are you going to do with the nut?

Mason. Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Posted April 2, 2011 That is a relief! question: what are you going to do with the nut? haha its pretty mangled, but i was going to keep it. but its been misplaced already haha Quote
Evan G Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) hey mate, while you have the head off. poor kero into intake and exhaust ports of the cylinder witch had nut inside of it, then check the valve and see if theres fluid leaking out leaking = bent valve or damaged seat/guide no leaking = all good mate edit - if the nut was that big howd it get in there? wouldnt have gone down the valves?

B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) that drag race is still on reed A: Best diagram ever. B : What/where the f@$k did that nut come from? C: My VRS kit is going in tomorrow. D: Find the nut and put it in your ash tray for luck. EDIT: I have a HD video camera for the drag race. :happy: Edited April 2, 2011 by blzbub666 Quote
Mason. Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Posted April 2, 2011 edit - if the nut was that big howd it get in there? wouldnt have gone down the valves? not to sure on that one, it must have come though the valves. because there is absolutly no room to come from underneath the piston and there was no damage to the piston cylinder wall its a mystery :| Quote
kpope18 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 walking through my garage I found a Kamei front lip that i purchased from Little Red Spirit for my kesev a while back. well one thing lead to another, 2 minutes later i was playing around with sticky tape and different mounting locations and finally got happy. Pics below i think it maybe a little to 'square' for this rounder shape car. but maybe if the lip was black or would set it off alot more. who knows? what do you think? Kamei lips on 70's panelvans yay or nay? Mason. hey man any chance that u want to get rid of that lip, do u think that it will fit my ke30? Quote
Mason. Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Posted April 3, 2011 Sorry kpope18, the lip has already gone onto blzbub666's ke70 Anyway today my car got kicked out of the garage. It was decided that my uncles race car parts obtain more value. theres a decent racespec volvo engine that has been worked to the shit house ;) have been dreaming of putting that into my car. but obviously i can't :( he also brought round his spare air compressor for me to use which sweetened the deal Quote
kpope18 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 that would be right he also got the 5k motor that i wanted lol oh well there will be others Quote

FOOMAN Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Loving the twin pipes and the P plate, is that painted on? Quote
Mason. Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Posted April 21, 2011 Loving the twin pipes and the P plate, is that painted on? cheers man, nah its just a maggy p plate Quote
FOOMAN Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Ah well, it would look pretty cool painted on :P Quote
SLO-030 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Gangster! Lose the roof racks me thinks. Reckon some small white text on the sidewalls would look good. Old firestone tyres style. Mason's Mobile Rape Dungeon... Quote
