Beaver Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Flange sorted (I think). Doubt they have done anything else, will give them a buzz Monday and see where they are at/if they have started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Good news, is they have managed to track everything down (hub seals, wheel cylinders, brake shoes), the flange I got for them is close enough and they can make it work, and will be doing a full 2/5" exhaust with a single muffler. chooch chooch. Bad news is it looks like I've run out of time to get everything sorted for the weekend/wagnats....luckily van life is a dream 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'm not going to tell you how to suck eggs. but all I see is a pod filter sucking hot air off the rad. flip it over the other way, and build a cold air box. cold air =free horsepower. also does this savage beast run an intercooler? Also also, can you bring the rocket cover racer track down to gnats on your roof pleez? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Yeh that intake was cobbled together out of whatever was sitting around so will revisit it at some stage. No intercooler but have one in stock that I will look at fitting one day. Main goal for now is jut getting it all working and back on the road. surely some of you chch folk are big enough and ugly enough to screw a few bits of wood together and make your own track? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Yeah we probably are. I should pm @Goat and get the exact measurements of the old track. I think @- i5oogt - got a boost gauge off aliexpress for sweet f.a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 This saddens me. Hopefully its just a tweaked valve. Is it the lack of comp that is stopping it running with correct injector timing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The guy reckoned two separate issues, so probably not. Will see what the comp test shows, but will likely commit to getting them to pull the head off and go from there. If its just a valve or two then cant imagine its a big deal to replace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Could this not all relate back to correct cam timing for the one you replaced? If that was off and your valves were opening incorrectly you'd suffer the lack of compression as well as not being able to time the injector pump accurately? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Possibly? I’d say I was pretty confident I timed it up properly but stranger things have happened (and if what the workshop said is correct re: crank timing then I’ve done something wrong, or something has slipped). When they ring back with compression test results I’ll yarn about that to him and see what they say (they are the experts after all). If it’s only one cylinder that’s bung, would that reduce the likelihood of it being cam timing? I would have thought that if it’s a tooth or two out then it would affect all cylinders.

kyteler Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Yeah it probably would but it might depend on how out or bad that cylinder is. I was just putting it forth as an option. Made sense in my head but less so if it's one particular dead cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Oh for shizzle, appreciate the input and will add it to the list of possibilities/things to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Ah this is dumb sir. Where you got it booked in at? And are you going to pay these people to pull the head of it proves to be an option. ? Or are we doing it ourselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Diesel and churbro. Not sure yet, will have a chat with them and see what they have to say. Pretty keen to not have to fuck around with it myself haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Yeah that's fair enough. They do damn good work. But because a lot of it is diagnosis it can be spendy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Oh yeh for sure. Was thinking that if comp test shows one or two cylinders dud and the rest ok then I’ll get them to take head off and do valves then reassemble and retime etc. should have done that in the first place (head off when I found the snapped cam) but I guess you live and learn! At least that’s chasing a plausible problem rather than just trying things at will haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Just gutted the old work comp tester didn't have the right fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It did (after you removed my screwdriver from it ) it was my ghetto set up to turn it over which was the fail haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Seedys mother is the expert on head. Maybe give her a call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Good bad news though. Maybe I should have just whipped the whole head off this one instead of just the cam. If you need it though, it's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Rofl. I have the head off the old motor as well, but TBH would rather do it once and do it right (despite all by dicking about previously). But thank you for the kind offer.
