also the seals number 11 and 12 on this link in the picture of the master cylinder http://autorepair.about.com/od/brakerel ... 91804e.htm seem to be not leaking but are wet ?

yeah i think your right coz eveything seems fine so must be the master cylinder, how much it cost to get a rebuild ?

oh great well i dunno if its that but i also tried pulling the calipers off well lifting them up as if you where to change the brakes and pumped the brake so the piston comes out and it comes out sweet the seals look good, then got the g clamp pushed them back in, the fluid in the master cylinder didnt bubble, just the level of fluid went up as i pushed the piston back so that shows there no air in the lines right ? did that on both sides, everything looks good, i'm stumped as to whats going on

yup its a tooth out, put the old crank at tdc whipped the old timing cover off and oh hello... how did that happen? we will never know! but now my problem is cracking the pulley on the head without putting stress on the belt now, fun times!

also have a spare master cylinder is it worth chucking that in ? have heard if they sit with no oil in them the seals go in them anyways so might be useless?

bleed the master cylinder this time and all brakes when i was bleeding no air what so ever came out and yet again still have this problem its beyond me cant see any leaks so gonna have to take it too someone, it goes sweet then once you leave it awhile or start it up it just goes soft as hell again but yeah i have no idea whats going on

yeah lukcy i didnt remove it was waiting on a second opinion, cool i'll try bleed the master see what happens

couldnt see any nipples on my master cylinder but there is about an 8mm Philips grub screw in the side towards the end of the cylinder ? that system sounds interesting tortron may have to do it

yeah i did furthest to closets and never heard of bleeding master cylinder ? also whats this about pressure bleeding them tortron? dont quiet understand?

i'm getting someone to help me do it, its really weird tho like i cant see any leaks and i didn't let it get even near low , weird huh ?

ok so ive just replaced my front rotors and re-kitted my brake calipers got new pads too, fitted everything and bleed the system with pipe and bottle so can see that the airs getting out etc well no air in the system as far as i can see but the pedal is still spungey as still goes to the floor bleed from the furtherst to the closest from the master cylinder done everything right but still have this problem? ive now done the process 3 times and it hasnt got any better? i mean i did have the calipers right off and stripped so they went on empty as no fluid from the start ? also car sat for like 2-3 weeks with no calipers with the hose in mid air with plastic bags tied on them so it had ages for air to get into the system but like i say ive bleed the system 3 times and seems to be no air in them? i'm really confused at why its still like this have i done something wrong ?

yeah i got it thanks for that heaps! yeah nah it doesnt run ruff like seems fine just doesnt wanna idle or it will idle at 1100 rpm then touch the trottle and it will just drop out and die has trouble starting too but yeah it sounds all good just doesnt wanna know about idling i have a compression tester but it doesnt get down those big spark plug holes so must have a look for one on a pipe tube thing

yeah think u could be right bugger really dont have the time for it off to the mechanic it goes!

yeah well the battery that was in it went dead so maybe thats whats happened, might have to double check timing,guna be fun if it is out fwd are gay as to get to compared to rwd

nah revving out outta whack as such i just doesnt wanna idle is all and as for tensioner i just let the spring do the work i didnt make it tighter or losser just whateva the spring does, ive done this on my cars too and never had any issues

hey guys if u dont remember my sister cambelt snapped on her 97 lancer with the 4g92 sohc engine well all was ok engines is fine but its running ruff as like the idles all outta whack , so all i wanna know is whats the secret to getting it back to normal coz i got told to rev it at 3,rpm for 3minutes then let it off slowly but that didnt work unless i did it wrong ? anyhelp would be great

yeah done that but i used one of those bars thatcome with socket sets you know with the female socket end and it slides on that shaft yeahwell it dominated that lol snapped it, was a scidchrome one too must get me a powerbar also think the batt going flatwhich doesnt help

the bolt its self ive got a rattle gun and they wont do it either ive had bad ones but this is real bad, yeah ive done that trick before works mint but i cant get my head round this one as its a fwd and id hate to find out its like left hand thread or something just need to be verified

having trouble getting the crank pulley off anyone got any ideas ? and it is counter clock wise to undo it ?

sweet might try hook the nelt up and see, are they gay to work on being fwd motor it looks gay also do they have a balance shaft belt? got a price online for cambelt 35bux! cheap as ooh and can any one send me a manual for this engine for the timing and junk ?

gutted what would you do fuel whip the head off or try to the timing belt and then just turn her over by hand ? if valves are poked wouldnt it be cheaper getting a whole new second hand head ? no ?

yesterday i get a call from my sister and she says my carz died come help me, great last thing i wanna hear! anyways turn up there couldnt really do much called the aa dude turns up and straight away he said it was the cambelt anyways got it home and he was right its gone, engines a 4g92 sohc 1500 or 1600 so i might get lucky he said as the twin cams dont get so lucky, thing is the car still turned over doesnt make any horrid noises, does anyone know if this engine has valve clearance ? i guess it just snapped at the right time, anyways i dont think its one of those things you really know till you pull the head off or hook up a new cam belt and try turn it over by hand first, guess i'll find out soon enough

good guess lol was 80 which aint bad then i spose! cheers

can anyone tell me what i should or will pay to have this done to my head ? thanks

well i went and changed it anyways and it works now! wrong pump runs mint altho timing still out i'd say not noticeable but i'll book it in for a tune up thanks anyways for your advice!
