1. take an angle grinder and make a big hole in the floor
2. weld some plates over the hole to make a tunnel
3. ?????
4. Profit?

Are there any videos of this car? I must hear it!





Edit- just found some. sounds tops

[ke_70]

none sounding like it should! haha.

new valve, seals, sensors are all here.
toda headgasket and timing belt should be getting sent off next week so mabey might be back together next weekend...

last drift prac for the year is comming up fast gunna miss it i think

[ke_70]

ok update.
causes for the valve failure aren't certain. theres nothing obvious thats happened, i'd thought for sure i'd dropped somthing down there but didn't
it was either a very very slight bend in the valve from some dislodged carbon. it also had quite alot of wear compared to the other valves so im unsure??
heres a pic the valve and the new one. you can see the left is lipped.


so i got another valve to replace it (thanks ant!) cleaned it up, lapped in all the valves myself including the new valve whick i was expecting to have to get regorund and reseated but managed to lap it by hand! i also took of a couple sharp edges out the chamber to prevent preignition (i think??)
anyway a few pics, should of take more but meh...

dirty valve on left










the worst of the injector seal! how was this not pissing fuel!?








bit of a sharp edge here


titanium ex valve 25 grams


steel ex valve out my spare head 41 grams


made a valve takeroutterer and puterinerer works awesome! keeps the retainer centred so it makes the little collets heaps easy to put in.




shiny shiny


rounded of edges

headgasket should be here next week so might be running next weekend!

Cool valve tool and walk in bay dudie

[Gunner]

So that dead inj. seal isn't the one feeding the cylinder with the damaged valve? If it was, it would explain the lone damaged valve.

Good to see you have finally had this on the ttrack though young clay, good work dude.

WHILE you are at this stage take out the inlet studs from no 2 and 4 and move them over 2 no 1 and no 5 as cap screws need to be put in these places
and also test your coils under load as 1 of them might be braking down under load

[ke_70]

i ground out the manifold when i first got it, so thats not an issue


they were all stuffed but the worst was no.2 i think. damaged valve was no.4

Thats not an injector seal, its an insulator. It cant leak fuel when it gets as bad as that, what it can do is lean that cylinder out, or decrease manifold vacuum (increasing fuel and tuning difficulty) and other problems like that.
