Gotta make sure the engine doesn't have broken rocker shaft bridges.... V8... Riley's one sounds so
-
I wonder if that dude with the 540i would be keen on trades for a broken E30. I like.
-
Do you rember the guys name? I'm having some pretty sh*t luck atm... got a wisdom tooth coming in... Just been put on antibiotics...
-
Yeah, that's true.. I give it the odd boot.. but who doesn't?
-
It's a B25 Unfortunately, Cheers though!
-
Would be nice, Unfortunately he lives in Wellington. - And It leaves me without a car... Again.
-
Nope, I wouldn't think so. He was selling it on trademe, we ended up ringing him, he sounded legit. Is a Diesel Mechanic. Said that he had bought a second hand head, and rebuilt it with new parts (looks clean ect) so it's got a new gasket, cambelt ect. Sounded like a good deal, grabbed it and here we are now.
-
Yeah, I'm going to email this guy.... and ask him how the hell he managed to break it.. Other than that though it runs fine, Compression tests were pretty good.. all about even. Very annoying, I really can't be bothered replacing the engine again. This just needs to last a while...
-
String gauge eh. Ahh well, I hope it doesn't blow up
-
The engine isn't in too bader shape like this? (will it last for a while) or should I be replacing it ASAP?
-
I'm gonna email the dude that sold me this motor, and ask him, how the hell he did it.
-
Figured as much, Cheers.
-
Mum would pack a tanty if I did something as awesome as this. Ahh well, Bring on apprentiship.
-
It's NZ new too :0 It's the same colour as my E30
-
I like Always wanted a Jetta.
-
In that thread, right at the bottom Clockwise, makes it richer, anti-clockwise = leaner.
-
No Idea, I think I'll get someone who knows what they're doing to adjust it
-
That sounds pretty logical actually. A mates dad (mechanic) pointed that out to me. I think mines running too lean.
-
With yours I'd be most worried about the knocking noise than the hesitation... Mine once it warms up isn't so bad at all. sort of annoying for me as I've only just put this motor in... Ahh well..
-
Just made a quick video.
-
I agree with this guy. Ps, I don't drink... ever
-
and if you slowly put your foot on the accelrator it doesn't do it? Mine does that too.
-
Yeah, there was no debris in the head at all. I assume it was broken when the engine was being reassembled. I'm taking the car into the Mechanic to have the tappets adjusted... hopefully that bolt is able to hold the rocker-shaft down.. and I'll pluck his brains on how to fix it...,
-
When I was adjusting the tappets the other night, I found this a broken rocker shaft bridge? (is that what it's called?) Looks like it was broken off when the head was rebuilt... Would've been nice to know about it tbh. Anyone know if this is repairable? Hopefully this isn't a frequently asked question.
