ste91 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Got any up to date pics? Always liked these in white, best colour for Starlets I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 no pics at the min she's been washed but not polished so she looks skanky lol il post some pics up when i next polish her Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 well it pains me to say it but the crank seal change hasnt solved anything. after going so well its just as bad now. its pissing oil out again in small puddles and the brand new clutch is really really high again bloody thing. thing is i still dont think its the gear boz seal i think the crank may be fuked and its somehow damaging the crank seal and letting oil out. either way it aint good no matter how you look at it back to square one again now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Dude, that sucks. hope you're starbo is better soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 not looking good mate if its the crank thats doing it which i suspect now it looks like its a bottom end re-build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 No fun man. Get a crate of beer and crack on with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 nah mate i dont want a bottom end rebuild i lose faith in engines if their repaired i think a replacement engine is the way forward to be honest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ro55ifumi Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 nah mate i dont want a bottom end rebuild i lose faith in engines if their repaired i think a replacement engine is the way forward to be honestFeeling it for you, just how i felt when i thought the mani had let go, agree with the rebuilding the motor though unless you are going to rebuild all the motor just doing one area puts stress on other worn areas so doing the bottom end will but stress on the top end an vice a versa, just when you seemd sorted gutted for you.
