Title: Loo-Knee's Mini Meet
Post by: Jimbob on 22 November 2008, 19:07:22
Had a good day today, had to leave them at it unfortunately.

Managed to get Ljay's Cambelt etc done, with Huge Thanks to Zok, Tony & Looknee for helping.

Growler's car was being very troublesome, hope you got it sorted in the end.

Nice to meet some new faces, and of course the old ones...

few piccies I grabbed before leaving..

Thought you would recognise it.

I even drew a small smiley face to make it feel at home ;)

It was having a new cambelt, and cam cover gaskets, which had started weeping.

it was playing up though, and was being stripped down for the 3rd time when I left.

Not fully sure, as I was under my own bonnet for most of it...

But my understanding was...

Stripped down, work done, reassembled, ran fine for 5 mins or so warning up.

Then it stalled, and made a funny noise.

Stripped back down to cambelt...timing spot on, all torque's correct.

Reassembled, and started again..

Sounded a bit like a socket or something was jumping about in the inlets, stripped down and there wasnt.

They were removing the camcovers again when I felt.

I wonder if a socket or bolt or something has got in there with the camshafts  :-?

I remember Hotel21 and I once stripped down to his cambelt kit, and on reassembly the water pump made an awful racket, for no apparent reason  :-/

If there's nothing down the valves, maybe something's gone under the camcover. If it's running on all 6, and removed, chances are it'll be ok...

I must admit there was some serious farting going on ;D
Personally I though Pete won by a mile :P

Has anyone heard how Barry's mate is? thought the ambulance was going to be needed.... he was lying in the house next to the radiator trying to warm up :-?

As for Growlers car, the timing was out to start with, but if it hadn't have been for the crap in that bloody pipe or whatever strange thing it turned out to be.. everything would have been fine :D

Must admit it did go rather cold later on, my bloody back and legs are still killing me :(
