Chris Green Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 sounds very promising bud! Phil. Cheers dude! Sounds good! Back on track Remix on for the 8th? Back on track indeed!

Got some thanks to Greenmachine81. busy weekend ahead bud Going to be a mental one this weekend - will get those clocks wired in for you too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 I had to take a trip down to the Starlet Rehabilitation Centre aka The Costa yesterday with suspected headgasket failure. A ton of smoke and mis-firing on cylinder 4. Also a heavy oil leak where the engine number is stamped. Compression test done 15.5 to 16 bar across all four, so head gasket and ring failure ruled out. Oil leak discovered at the distributor, solved with a new O ring. Plugs also changed. Problems pointed towards the plug with smoke and mis-fire. left the costa weened off the oil. So a nice easy weekend of polishing and fitting a bumper turned into a nightmare, but massive thanks to Jay! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was looking forward to seeing the bumper too! haha. Back on track anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Back on track anyway Cheers Chris, not quite back on track yet, bumper still to go and and polishing to be done. Also forgot to mention I tidied up the wiring for my gauges, ran out of heat shrink, so not as tidy as I would like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 looks pretty damn tidy to me bud! Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Cheers Phil. Ideally I would have heat shrunk the 3 earths and the sensor wires together. Ran out if wire tidy too, so would have ran all three through that. But, I'll save it for another weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
