Here we go AGAIN... fuuuuuuuuuck



As some of u know and as u can see from my previous topic I had problems with my head gasket and my car was burning coolant and oil...



This is what i did:



Remove the head, clean it really good, port it and polish only the exhaust ports. Port matched the intake manifold and clean it also. The cylinders were dirty so I cleaned'em too. After all that I gave the head to a man that's been repairing heads for 47 years! The man told me that I have to change the the things that the valves are running it ( sorry don't know the word in english...) He gave me the hydraulic lifters to clean'em and I did this... He worked on the head for about 3-4 days and I took the head from him ready to bolt it to the block. The 2 bigger bolts ( I think 10s) with 35nm + 60 degr + 60 degr and the smaller with 30nm + 60 + 60. I painted the teeth of the camshafts so I'm 99% sure that there is no mistake there.



When everything was done and I first started the car it was running like v8 White smoke comming from the exhaust and the engine was shaking a lot. A friend told me that it's normal and to leave for a while and after 10 min the engine was running almost like it should be without any shaking. I decided to give it a run and the tib felt strange...running good to 2000rpms and then it was loosing power to 3000rpm ( strange metal noise also ) I was using bkr7e so I tought it might be from the spark plugs, changed'em with bkr5e and the improvement was minimal ! After around 40km in the city I checked the plugs and they were black. Went for a little drive outsiede of the city and when I got back checked the plugs again and they were better almost brownish. The car is running a little bit better, but still not like before

When I started it this morning it was running rough for a minute and after that the idle was ok. No engine shaking, but the problem around 2000-3000rpm is still there. I'm afraid to go higher, cause I don't thing this is normal.



What do u guys think? There is no thicking and the idle is good... Any ideas what I have to check?

Thanx AGAIN

 

Sounds like the timing is off a tooth or so

 

Timing is off a tooth or you mixed up a plug wire possibly

 

I'll check the mark of the tooth again...the wires are ok 100%. I can't mix'em up because of their lenght I just hope that the makr on the belt is still there, cause today I saw only the mark on the tooth. I still don't get it how can I miss a tooth...

Thank u guys really appreciate it

 

Don't go by the belt, there are timing marks on the block/crank sprocket and the head/cam gear for that reason.



Always line those up before taking anything timing related apart, and *make sure all your belt slack is on the tensioner side before tightening the belt down*



^ thats how you missed a tooth im guessing

At the cam everything is lined up as on the pics that stocker posted, but at the crank I'm havin a hard time removing the pulleys that are in front of the crank pulley I have to remove them , cause I can't see the marks... really pissed off!!! Fuckin pulleys!!! I'm waiting for a friend to bring me 22 wrench for this f*cked up pulley, as u can guess I have all the others 19,20,21,23...but NO 22!!!

I'll post update later today and if everything is ok that's the last thing I'll do to my tib



p.s. the last 3-4 months I have that BAD luck and this is getting out of control

 

I'm finally done with the tib Everything is ok ... for now I'll test it tonight and see if there is any improvement from the p&p head.



Thanx to all that helped me and yes you were right the timing was off ... 2 teeth

 

check the timing haha

 

Hey I think you might want to check the timing . . . oh, wait . . ..



Good job getting it sorted.
