ryan lang Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 sheet man.!! sorry to hear all the problems youve had matey. Although i have full faith that you'll get it sorted mate. Shows come and go bro. yeah i wouldnt mind so much if they hadnt been paid for :/ but lifes a bitch hoping bank holiday monday is the day it gets sorted now, if not trax is looking really unlikely :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 JAE is looking more likely, now that the car is all back together, trax is looking less likely though, but ill go up with jade in her car to hand out the tickets everything is back together, not burning oil any more, but it wont start now either took it out for a spin yesterday and it felt good, just slow accelerating, which i think was overfuelling, so we tried to adjust the came setting to the 4e timing, and the sod wouldnt pull at all. next we had a mega water leak, which happened while the engine was running and i had already driven on it :/ luckily it started this morning and i found the plug that usually comes out of the airbox wasnt plugged in. we got it to start, then it cut out which we found out was a loose earth, and when it cut out we think something has happened to the coil, as we have spark, fuel and compression, but the spark isnt strong enough to ignite the fuel, so time for a new coil to try and get it to start, if it starts then ill plonk the cams back onto the 5e setting, get it timed up then give it another runif it still doesnt run tidy on the 5e setting, then il put the 4e cams back in just to get hopefully to trax, and definitely JAE and then when i get my adjustable cam pulley, we'll have another crack at the 5e cams only picture i have is of my shiny backbox which i took off to check for stagnant oil, and i found some not alot but its better than none chris has headed back to manchester for some sleep and work, lots of thanks to the man for staying for 2 and a half days after only planning on coming down for a few hours. gutted we couldnt get it going though after all that time and effort for something that small and gay to break when we thought we had the final piece to the puzzle also changed to title from ponies to donkeys because this car is being a stubborn git!

ryan lang Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 had a mechanic around today, and straight away after hearing me try and start it, he whipped the cam cover off, and bamm! cam pulley was out of shape and the cam belt had worn away leaving what looked like a barber shop floor behind the cover which means the cam had jumped causing the timing to be WAYYYYYY out hence the not startinghe suggested i get the car towed to his garage so he can remove the head and inspect that the valves hadnt bent, but speaking to a few other guys i think im going to get a new belt and time it back up and tighten everything, turn it over by hand and see if it jams or anything, then try starting it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joel_ep91 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 the head will be fine never seen one bend valves as they are a non contact engine. means the timing belt could snap and no damage would be done, my dad has a customer who has a 4efe corrola (miibs shape) has 300k on it broke the timing belt 3 times and still runs sweet good old toyota.
