  1. Thnx bud it's the first one I've had always had jap up till I got my m3 n sold tht to buy n fund this had a few folk say different things about running in like miles etc wat should I do n gd luck with the corrado hope all goes well
  2. Ye Thts the van n got it up n runnin now thnx to john at bedrock for his advice just got the dreaded run in to do now :(
  3. Do u have any idea if I should advance or retard it bn asking about this evrywer and bn told tht the marks would always remain the same but can mind from the Astra Sri turbo I rebuilt from a freand I had to retard the timing just because I used Vxr cams ino it ain't a Vw but all engines work in the same way
  4. i bought myselfa caddy with a g60 fitted which i was told needed rings the engine was already half stripped so pulled ut the block to discover piston no2 was f****d and no3 had a crack at the gudgeon pin got a rebore done and some new oversize pistons. i built the engine and have had a few issues with water and oil leaks but got them sorted all timing marks are alligned yet car doesnt want to rev and seems to b running rich ive tried adjusting the dizzy but if i put idle at 800 rpm the car wont rev atol but adjust it so it idles around 1000 rpm it will rev but seems to b a bit slow to respond. i havehad the van out a drive but it doesnt seem to want to rev thers no power and struggles to drive and wen u come to a stop it dies and cuts out but turn the key it fires up straight away but no change in how it drives ive tried evrywer to get help with this even on the caddy forum wer the guy who originally owned it and the guy who down the conversion 4 years ago but still no help so any help or sugestions would b appreciated as ive spent quite a bit getting this back together and would like to get it on the road as far as i know the van has schrick 272 cam chipped stage 4 jabbasport charger ported and polished head i dont know any history of the van or knowledge of these engines so seen the site while searching for any answers and thot where better to get advice than from people who enjoy these cars
