Another question. Is it going to do any damage to the cam or engine being a little out. Really just want it mobile to go round some panel shops. If I end up getting a panel and paint done i'll take the motor out then and do it.
-
Cheers for the advice. Got side tracked today and ended taking the inner handbrake cable out what a mission. Now on to the leaking power steering box looks like ive got to take the brake booster out to get the thing out.

going to get hold of a degree wheel and do it properly. just had straight up to get it out of my little no power single garage. got it to work today so it can stay there for a bit. watched a couple of youtube vids on how to use them so all going well i'll stay after work tomorrow and get it done.

Still not running 100% might take it somewhere for a tune. If ya put your foot down at 100ks in top gear it still pops through the carb. But a least its mobile now.

Hers my 302 xe finally got going
-
turns out timing was just knocked way out. got it going and took it for a spin around the block. Smoking back left disc brake when I got back. woops. something else to fix turns out they don't like having the handbrake on for a couple of months. goes and sounds good apart from that. got a vid on my phone just not sure how to upload it here.

Think im going to have to rip the engine out and take it to a shop. Got everything back together. It started pretty easy did the run in with all the right stuff and it sounded mint. Turned it off and let it cool down. Next day drained the run in oil and changed oil and filter. now it wont start. it just about wants to start on a couple of cylinders just pops and bangs and smoke coming out rocker cover breather. Should have just forked out the dosh and got the shop to do a full rebuild.

Putting the top end of my 302 clevo back together. New DEH265 cam, timing gear, lifters. Heads have been redone. When fitting the cam does it need to be advanced or can I just top dead centre it?
-
Finally getting round to putting it all back together. Does this cam need to be degreed on a standard 302 or top dead centre it

Got my cam, lifters and timing gear on there way. Hopefully get it together next weekend.

Ok saving my pennies at the mo. Want to get a panel and paint on the xe ghia. I want it redone in the factory gun metal grey. How many thousands would I expect to have to pay. I will of course stip out the trim and what ever else needs taken off eg windows ect. Redoing the motor at the moment .. was unexpected.. so its not helping with the funds.
-
That's for sure. Cant remember the last time I seen a decent xseries down here. They've all been used by the boys for piss wagons or chopped up for stock cars
-
Its a pitty that there never going to be worth what ya spend on them lol
-
Was going to replace it at the same time, its coming off so might as well do it.
-
They guy at the Local v8 parts places sell comp cams and recommended a stage 2 cam whatever that is???
-
Yep Bottom of NZ. Only ever replaced a head gasket, done water pumps and a timing chain once. Ive never done a cam so I guess ill just research up on it and give it a go.
-
went on the comp cams site and typed in 265deh. Whats the difference between them all or are they for different makes. whats the 302 Cleveland part number for these. Cheers guys

got an xe with a 302 in it. when I got it it would start rough when cold the go good once warmed up. condensation out the exhaust. assumed gasket leak. gave it a hiding the other day when I went to start it next it went like shit. pulled the heads off and they look pretty new. no noticeable gasket leaks but got a bent push rod????? taking the heads to get checked tomorrow. any ideas where else to look?
-
Sweet new cam and lifters it is then. Its a 302 edelbrock performer intake, 570 street avenger carb, Headers with twin pipes and H pipe. 2 cobys. 2v closed chamber heads just done up. C4 auto. Still got the factory diff in it was an efi 6cly manual ghia. no idea what sort of cam to get as I know nothing about them. Its just a weekend car for putting a smile on the face.
-
can you do a cam with the engine? haven't really got anywhere to take it out.
-
I pulled each lifter out one at a time and inspected them then put them back in the same hole. They all appeared flat and smooth.
