I had the powder coated inlet manifold, rocker cover and a KR cam put in today :D

 

Along with a few degrees of ignition timing and adjustments to the fueling.

 

Car is alot smoother through out the rev range and picks up alot quicker whilst in gear.

 

Big thanks to Graham at DG once agoin for the great work :notworthy:

 

Also Thanks to Dave for breakfast/dinner :D

 

Oh and was nie to meet OSV today too :wave:

 

 

Now what do I want doing :confused4: :scratch: :lol:

That looks great, Jake 8) Get yourself a new expansion tank + a battery cover, will make a real difference for not a lot of money ;)

Thanks Andy :D

 

I might have to do that at some point but the rest of the block is looking really dirty now :(

[CazzaVR 0]

Get some degreaser and leave soaking in for a while and then steam clean. Will come up a treat :)

Ooops forgot to say it had new chains as well 8)

[vw domo 0]

No not from the chains

 

But I have got a whining coming from one of the belts cant seam to work out which one or how to stop it

i found that the bottom wheels had eaten away at the cam cover and it was making some awful noises when i put them back on again, had to get a new one!

 

i thought the noises where coming from a pulley wheel or tentioner but after greasing and fiddling i figured it had to be the chain, its hard to tell over the engine noise but it gets louder with increased rpm, kinda sounds like a super charger ( not that im proud of it 8) )

Must be a different whinning then as the noise I get you can only hear it at really low revs or at idle.

 

and is deffo the belts, might try the talcum powder technique to see if that helps tomorow
