apologies! didnt realise it irritated people!
hello folks, its been a while, a depressing while... after getting the engine in and realising the gearbox was wrong, ive since got my hands on an F13 bell housing which im going to fit my F10 transmission into, but, now i cant get a (290mm approx) flywheel for it because the bloke i bought the engine off has flogged it to someone else... annoyance... so while im waiting for one to turn up (if anyone on here could help it would be awesome) im mirror polishing the F13 bell housing so it looks alot better when its bolted to the new engine, thats going well, id post some pics but my proper phome is sh*gged and the temporary one is w*nk... also got my interview for the foundation degree in motorsport engineering... result..!!
hello peeps, i finally got the old shed running, got a flywheel on saturday, had that and hew clutch on and had the gearbox rebuilt and fitted by that afternoon, got some gearbox oil and petrol earlier and got it going, now for the teething troubles... one of my carbs is a little bit sticky and doesnt close off properly, so it runs really fast unless you physically pull the throttle closed, hopefully with a bit of adjustment of the throttle linkage should sort that out, another thing was (hopefully cured now) is that the fuel seems to be pre-detonating in the inlet manifold, hopefully i havnt damaged the mis-abs too much, bit of a tweek up hopefully cured that, another thing is the return fuel pipe, im not sure what to do about it, because im only running the mechanical pump until ive strengthened the bottom end up im wondering if i need to have a return until i get some ARP bolts in the rods and ive got a facet pump? its backfiring so im guessing its just about running rich enough, although i think it'd hunt a bit higher revs, if anyone could help with my above issues i would be eternally grateful!!
its done... with the possible exception of some more new jets...
