    The crank pulley will rub against the bottom cambelt cover if it wasnt seated correctly when installed or if you forgot to install the big washer before the pulley that slides over the woodruff key on the crank

    The engine is secondhand I just replacing the cams due to poor figment and clearance scored the cams bad. 

    When the pully come off all I had was the crank bolt no washer on the crank think this is my problum then now

    need to find a new one 

  2. So I been plodding on sold my turbo kit now so money is use to clear some

    low debt off to free up some cash each month. This evening I removed my

    rfpr and remounted it I also re doing the braided fuel lines with Teflon style internal and an fittings. 

    I then started removing the timing belt covers and to my slight worry my bottom pully has been rubbing on my cam belt cover and worn a hole through it not a clue why this has happend anyone can shed a light on it much appreciated. 

    Cam belt is removed now and going to get a new kit ordered up once I done all the other cam removal work. 

     

    So so my plan now is save hard for the following kits 

    Fisk billet cams and there borgwonrer turbo kit at just under 4 k lol

     

  3. So today I went down my garage and removed my rocker cover so I could check the cams to def sure they couldn’t b saved unfortunately they can’t but I have a good set of standard ones to go in so now got to get time to remove them etc. I also after speaking to a member on here I going to update my sensors to new faster reading ones so just purchased a new intake air temp sensor and coolant temp sensor. 

    Grand total of 133 quid. Not to bad and easy for me to do. 

     

  4. So due to a crap start of the year and my health not being so great. I am very tempted to start breaking the car or sell it how it is as a whole. 

     

    Unfortunately the scene these days are full of youngsters who has no idea about the money you have to spend to get a good reliable hp starlet.

    Which is once reason I in two minds to sell or break. 

     

    Tgis is car has cost me excess 20k easy and over maybe 200 hours of labour and I so close to sorting issues out with her but just lost faith. 

     

    I joined this fourm bk in 2007 and unfortunately I seen a decline of people act enjoying what fun these cars can do
