WARTYM Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 it doesnt really bother me if its smokey. its a temp engine till i replace the body, get it road legal and then a engine transplant at the end of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vvega Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I bet it's way more fucked that you think it is.Nothing more than scrap material. quoted for the truth time to harden the fuck up buddy and realise this thing is dead weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Come on buys, be a bit less Abrasive please? Have a play, dont spend too much on it incase it is failed. Pull it apart and learn some stuff if it is rooted, then scrap it for petty money when you've got the new engine in and climing up vertical cliffs.

Yowzer Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Your bonnet = swiss cheese. I'd say slap the engine together and try running it as is and use it as a paddock thrasher. I highly doubt you'll ever get it road legal. Not for less then the price of an already road legal one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 would agree - as a project to fuck around with to see if you can do soemthing lol with its alright but unless it holds great sentimental value i would imagine its more work than its worth to do anything with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARTYM Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 cleaned the engine up today. Started to put a few things back, took the carb off to give it a clean. gave it a crank today with the battery hooked it all up and most of the stuff works, such as all the dash lights/fan/lights. cranked it without the sparkplugs and the valve cover to get rid of all the shit and water. then i drained out the old oil/water for the engine, the water was in there from when i cleaned the head. heres some photos: Cleaned the body up too and its not that bad apart from the front bumper and bonnet, but im still going to replace the whole body once the engine is up and running.

Insani-T Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Just rip the bonnet off and leave it off, that solves the problem of replacing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WARTYM Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 hahahah guess what, it started hahaha. and lots and lots of smoke, no fan belt, no alternator, sticky throttle hahaha heres a start up video (not the first thou) then we decided we wanted to rip it up, so i took it down the driveway and water came out of the radiator. dam, went home and reliased it was becasue we had no fan belt that the water pump wasnt working. drove it into the shed, thought a bit about it, then decided trusty zip ties could be the fan belt ahahahahahah using 3-4 zip ties we had our self a fan belt that worked. here is a video of a couple of my mates doing some skids and have some fun. too bad right at the end we heard a real loud tappet noise (most likely due to having not much oil left after burning it all hahaha) temp gauge works too. im just a bit pissed of that it smokes this much hahaha, any product i can buy which will make it less smokey and/or make it burn less oil, iv heard of a few products and seen them at a few automotive store ?

Yowzer Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 AAhaha fuck that awesome!! Photos of cable tie fanbelt plz There won't be a quick fix for an oil leak that big. You'll be looking at completely shot valve guides there. Or BHG of death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARTYM Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 will get some photos of the zip tied fan belt tomorrow morning haha suprisingly the zip/cable ties would very good as my fan belt. gay thing is that after say 20-30mins of fun, the oil level went real low and i got a very loud tappet noise and then i parked it up in the shed. no cheap fixes so it smokes less/ burns less oil ?
