tortron Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 It's fine tho Actually it was real thin at that spot. I recon they didn't account for the stretch when pressing the panel. In any case its lasted about 25 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 3M aluminum foil tape smoothed over really tight, and sprayed with colour match paint. I literally once fixed a rust hole in an AP6 regal in that exact spot by doing that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Oh you guys. Is using drum brakes a couple of times enough to set them in place to adjust the handbrake? I recall moons ago being told to not adjust handbrake till drums had been used. Yes I could google, yes i'm a diddle finger mechanic.

Yowzer Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I usually tweak the handbrake so it drags, go for a thrash around the block a couple of times hard on the brakes then tweak again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Sweet thanks. Handbrake would be handy before I hit the road, so they are potentially centered after I bled the whole lot then. Just saves me having the chock that thing erryday. Will give those methods a hoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 guys got a 4g64 that starts sometimes and not others when running it sounds ok but will stall out sometimes when turning, reving up the engine, or letting it drop to idle when starting it sounds to me like its kicking back on the starter, jambing it up sometimes and the solenoid clicks, eventually it will start hes done a bunch thinking its electrical issues (new alternator, engine grounds, fuel filter, air cleaner, throttle body, coil, reman ecu, starter, ign switch) i cant stand doing that jfc anyways my internet diagnosis im thinking its timing from how it kicks trying to start it, jambing back on the starter so it doesnt return propperly (rather than being another starter issue) it seems to run ok when running, so how does a bad timing belt/tensioner/balancer sound. so when the belt is slack its timing is out and it kicks back, engine eventually starts up and some tension is applied to the belt and it runs ok until the revs change and drop and the timing wanders again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
