Easy mate. Im using the release that comes with the spec 6 clutch. I think the noise is related to trans issues im having and im sure that this isn't the reason im stripping my input shafts and clutch lol.

Thanks for reply

Mike

Sorry didn't read your post properly lol

I'm Mansfield as well

12mm breather filter mate

whats 3mm between friends

15mm rings a bell

i went through a couple of cheap release bearings fairly quick, within a 100 mile they started knocking. what bearings are you using? i opted for a blueprint one in the end and am upto 500 mile with no noise/knocking so far

ill take the rack joints, pm me your details

Your okay using the red tipped tungsten with s/s

id workz do the sandwich plate i believe

worn rings would give smoke pretty much all the time

im having this issue, its fine no smoke on startup, no smoke driving or coming on boost but if you say do 40mph in 3rd let the revs drop and then touch throttle a big cloud of greyish smoke comes from the exhaust, if i sit revving the car no smoke can be seen from the back of the car and idle shows no smoke either.

i dont think its valve seals as you said it doesnt smoke when started up, anyone else have any ideas what it could be?

bit of a debate but its there.

'WONDER' pistons hmmm...

brown intake, grey/silver exhaust

was around about 100 mile i think before it started wining again, then a few thousand later it was getting a little brave not to change it.

never had issues with standard clutches, it must be the extra force required on the pressure plate to open that fucks it up.

i think i have had about 4 release bearings in mine, what manufacturer are you using? i had to bite the bullet and put a blueprint one in that cost over £50 and thats lasted a while up to yet.

could also be play in the output shaft that's causing the issue?

if its standard it will be on the left hand side of the fuel rail. small silver looking device with fuel line and vacuum line attached.

could also be fuel pressure regulator failing, it needs to hold pressure when cranking, once started it will run fine... i have had this issue twice before.

got a rocker cover you can have for £20, its usable and purple with a few chips out of it, will need a repaint

under the back seat is the easiest way

Split diaphragm, this won't be helping the other issues, I'd get this swapped and see how it runs after

Ill take a 3" aswell

Hi what kind of compression should I be looking at on my forged engine? Trying to pin point a misfire so whilst changing plugs I did a test, -all sat around 200 psi but when a wet test performed it hit 250 psi? This to me is very high, I thought forged engines ran 150ish psi low compression

Tests were done on a hot engine

Wanted... The thin rubber strips that run the length of the roof, passengers side, was gunna buy from Toyota but wanted 60 quid a side

bump

As above must be in near excellent condition

Cheers
