FMuscle Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Ok here's today's update.4E dizzy installed4E sump, pick up and pressure release valve fittedExhaust fits and is securedPut oil in the filter (and release valve) before fitting it.Cranked the engine, but I couldn't tell if the oil light came off because THE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON ON IGNITION!!! It was on Friday, but it never lit up today, (didn't turn ign on before doing the above...) check engine was off too, but turned on when I put the EFI fuse back in... No attempt to actually start it was made today. Will do tomorrow... if all goes well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 if your unsure of the pressure unscrew the oil pressure sensor and crank her over if pressure is there it will squirt out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FMuscle Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 I will start it tomorrow. I didn't want to rush things in the last 5 minutes tonight. but what got me, confused, is that the oil light did not turn on when I switched the ignition. It did Friday, last time I tried...I did lots of reading and I'm confident that my pressure issue is solved. And the fuel/spark as well with the 4E dizzy.So tomorrow, refreshed, take another look at everything then fire it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FMuscle Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Yeah it lives... kind of. Here's the formal update.So the car started, I put some oil in yesterday evening, this morning it was on the L mark, so I poured some on the cams to help a moist start... Rocker cover on, start without coolant. all good. recheck under the cover, oil everywhere, WIN! Pour coolant, put the rocker cover back on, start. D'oh! Oil everywhere around the timing cover and coolant leaking in 3 places... But as an idiot I put the rocker cover on without tightening it... At lunch, following my post I fixed 2 of the coolant leaks, just a matter of tightening clamps, and cleaned the oil, checked for leaks, everything seemed fine so I started it again. No oil, the remaining clamp still leaking (the hose to the pump, need the lift the car to get to the clamp bolt over the starter.) and after a few seconds it started mifiring. Shut down, back to work.Tonight, Finished filling the coolant, fitted the reservoir, replaced the dizzy cap/leads by the new one that was on the 5E dizzy, started. Fuel pissing out of the injectors!!! Might be the cause of the misfire and not the dizzy cap/leads...That's where I'm at now. I need to sort out the fuel leak, and retighten the last clamp. The Paseo injectors are on, 8/12 of the seals where replaced on them, I reused seemingly good ones from the 4E to finish the job until my service kit shows up for my 326cc injectors. So tommorow if I can, I'll take the rail of and see if we have proper o-rings in stock, otherwise I need to wait I don't know how lon for the service kit. It was supposed to be here in December... Q: if it's temporary, couple of weeks to couple of months at worst, can normal o-rings be used on injectors? I've never tried...

5e colin Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 you can i got some in local engineers shop and i used some lube on them to slide them back in the rail there still not leaking so must be ok ha ha just a few more nagly bits and of you go did the intake camshaft blanking plug pop out ?? ( black yoke ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FMuscle Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) No. I got the clear cover on, and I can check quickly but no, oil was only residue from my dumbness of not tightening the cover properly before restarting it.I'll get those o-rings replaced tomorrow, hopefully I have a free hoist to get to the clamp, It just didn't work on the ground...
