Finally ! good to see this is finally on the road.
PS You want to hope if you remove the sump that is NO metal filings anywhere ! anything in the sump has been round the engine which is not good if its bits of metal.
Random misfire could well be the cam trigger location imo, it should be bolted directly to the engine, not a cover which could easily vibrate, the smallest of movements could cause a random misfire as you describe.
Coilpack is a good idea either way though :)
imo there is no movement in the cam cover once the bolts are tight, i have done about 150miles on the set up, if the miss fire was cam pick up related it would show up as a sync error, and ive had no errors since moving to this set up!:)
removed the sump after some swearing and its totaly clean!:) better to be safe than sorry i suppose!, glad i did it as it peace of mind!
Thats fair enough, If it was mine I would mount it to the actual engine but I appreciate your way of thinking.
maybe in the future i could look to use the standard vaux no1 pick up in the dizzy cap blanking plate!, the pick up can run out by 5 degrees advance or retard any way:) plus Mark told me to put it in the cam cover and i trust his advicelol
I can go with that lol If anyone should know Mark would
looks much better with the black 'cooler. more subtle!
just been up and ordered the new sump gasket, so will have some fun fitting that either this afternoon or tomorrow, also ordered the new bosch ignition module as i need 2 to run the coil pack, all that is left now is to order the correct plug and pins for the module and the correct 3 pin one for the coil pack!:)
Man thats beautiful, love the black inter, such a good idea, super sleeper.
Whats the deal with running it on cheap oil?
should run an engne in on mineral to get a better ring/bore seal as it creates more friction on the bore!
done the sump gasket! **** of a job on your back!, took the engine loom out as it was starting to get a mess in the footwell so thats looking better now, just need the coil pack off Rick, so should be running again by the end of the week, which could decide its future!:eek:
very nice car problies the best on here imo top work fella:thumb:
