big chisel sorted it,also are the nuts copper? Confused gsf list 8mm copper nuts for the zaust mani?

 

That's what I used on my 16v, but Stealth advised me to use washers as well

cheers m8.

[Riley 0]

thanks to bix for sending me the torque settings.

 

what do i need to tighten the new dx crank bolt upto though?

 

sure i read 80nm? somewhere,the list i have off bix says 200nm :shock: for a mk2 8v?

 

and any thoughts on the exhaust manifold,cant see it being a problem?

 

neil.

may work,, think you have to be carefull re cutting the exhaust valves though, seem to remeber reading something in bentley about not doing it,, should be ok for the inlets..

 

they're filled with sodium, I think the main issue is with disposal. You have to cut them in half and then dump them in a bucket of water (and stand back :))

[olly elworthy 0]

as for the gaskets, so long as you buy an ELRING gasket kit from GSF you will be fine, there other gasket kits however are crap,,

[Riley 0]

cheers,

 

sodium filled eh...

 

any ideas on the above post guys?

 

neil.

[olly elworthy 0]

yeap sodium filled to help with heat dissipation from the boosted motor,, its overkill really though in this application,, most big valve heads just use 1 piece stainless steel valves instead,,

[Riley 0]

interesting stuff 8)

 

gonna go find out if the heads ready and wotnot.

 

neil.

Was just about to say use Elring, as far as non gen gaskets they are the best IMO, infact i was once told Elring make all VW's gaskets.

 

Yep 16V's have sodium exh't valves also. To dispose of them you are supposed to cut inhalf, bung them in a bucket of water, stand back and wait for the reaction to stop. :lol:

could something have dropped into the inlet while you were polishing the tb??? makes me wonder if something fell in there and tipped a valve

cool :lol:

pretty confident nothing dropped in m8,visual checks dont show anything either...

 

must admit,it crossed my mind though.

 

just found out the guy has skimmed the head,i hope he knows what he's doing :roll:

 

and he vac tested it and the inlet valves were nowhere near seating correctly.

 

he's pretty certain this is my problem.

 

what ya think guys?

 

neil.

[Riley 0]

in fact wtf? :x

 

wont i need a vernier cam pully now? :?

 

and i just know someones gonna tell me it shouldnt be skimmed anyway??? :cry:

 

feckin cars!

[mrbeige 0]

Depends how much he has skimmed it by. If its only a couple of thou, I shouldn't think it'll make any noticeable difference, the CR will only be affected by the tiniest amounts. Its just a matter of course to skim the head, just to clean up the surface, just in case they is any warpage.

 

Should be ok, unless someone wants to correct me if I'm wrong.

[Riley 0]

i hope so mr b.

 

thanks.

were the valves seating before you took the charger etc off the car ?

[Riley 0]

as far as i know m8,it did pop and fart a few times but never this bad,and it didnt have the power loss.

 

disconnecting the charger pipe to t-body made no difference.

 

neil.

[W3RKD 0]

out of intrest what way round hve you put the vac pipes on the throttle body ?

[Riley 0]

stood at front of the car:

 

ecu hose to the top nipple on the t-body.

 

please tell me thats right :lol:

[W3RKD 0]

it needs to be on the top left... and had you tried pulling it off the ecu end when the car was idling to see if any differances were made ?

[Riley 0]

nope,i didnt try that.

 

what ya thinking m8?

 

i replaced the pipe with new not long ago,few weeks maybe.

 

and its exactly 1 meter long.

 

 

neil.

[W3RKD 0]

please dont tell me it idles fine but when you put any load on the engine it coughs and splutters like a ba5tid ?

 

i need to finish a job but will check here again in 10-15 mins..

[Riley 0]

idled like in the little vid clip darren,but cleared up after ticking over for a while.

 

but when revved,the revs were hanging around and popping/farting.

 

then driving it,it had no power after like half throttle,full throttle just made it die.

 

neil.

 

edit:

 

vid of tickover.....

[g60griff 0]

mine started like this, then all of a sudden it wouldnt run at all, really overfueling when trying to start. i thought it was a fault with the ecu. but it turns out it isnt. anyone got any ideas.

[Riley 0]

:(

[Riley 0]

darren? what were you going to say? or suggest?

 

pics of the head...

 

where can i get new manifold studs and the copper washers for the oil pressure senders etc?

 

also,any one got the torque setting for the dx crank bolt?

 

neil.
