Joe slight problem there isn't a single bit of engine loom anywhere near the car it's all GONE

[NickB787]

might pop over and swap those cams tomorrow afternoon if you are about

I had a go at getting that broken stud out and won't come out, in fact I think the drill bit went off centre think this may be a head off job, will have lunch then try again, wonder it I can tap it in situ?

20 minutes to swap the cams, so easy with the clam off ps: I have just finished your tow eye adaptor

[NickB787]

Can I say to Vocky, never imagined they could be changed so quickly, went to get a tea and they were done when I cam back, wow that was quick, thanks for the tow eye also identified TDC so will find which teeth to grind down. I re-tapped a number of manifold holes to m8, terrifying years since I have tapped heads, it's on, needs tightening tomorrow, Also looking for a z20let knock sensor to install. trying to figure a way to get these pesky s/c bolts back on, maybe get the dremel out to the rear bulkhead tomorrow. anyone fancy a laugh come on over ( wonder where this wire goes )

Loosen the rear mount and tip the engine over. May give you a bit more room to reach those SC bolts.

Which bolts broke from the manifold? Hear that now a few times, despite fitted lower mount....

those closes to number 1 cylinder. the first one looking at the manifold and the first top one closest. think these were the ones which went before. I have the support bracket as well. Will see how the m8's go. hadn't thought of that, might be enough give in the exhaust system to allow that cheers

nick - sc bolts, get a 13mm or alan key socket (depending on bolt!) fit a extension then a knuckle joint then extension onto a 1/4 ratchet and there ya go i might be able to pop round one afternoon if you still need help

[NickB787]

yes please Joe if you don't mind, do you have a z20let knock sensor? I need one won't make the Courtenay deadline now, also the allan key trick won't work as the harrop is that much bigger

you must be going he man on them?! m8s on my head

[NickB787]

m8s on my head

think it's essential really, neeed to adjust the position of the map as the new one is bigger the the old and wont sit correctly UNDER the harrop

[NickB787]

I noticed when I pulled the senor out there was some kind of grease under it, (black) any ideas, one of the harrop bolts actually sits on the new sensor and will hold it in position

[The Batman]

is it silicon? or dirt?

[NickB787]

Looks like some silicon sealant has been used to seal it. will put some on just don't want to get it near the sensor. what size pulley should I put on Joe?

[The Batman]

whats the smallest you have?

[NickB787]

64mm / 2.5" ~ 27.5 psi 70mm / 2.75" ~ 25 psi 75mm / 2.95" ~ 22.5 psi 80mm / 3.15" ~ 20 psi 85mm / 3.35" ~ 17.5 psi 89mm / 3.5" ~15psi 80 (3.15) standard I have 2.9/2.8 /2.7 so could go from @20psi up to 25psi wonder if I should have got a 2.5"

[The Batman]

what are you going to go for? have you seen in america what bhp figures each pulley turn out? as i guess the bore liners are the next weak point?
