    cams

    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.

    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.

    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.

    cam timing

    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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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
  17. Its a pitty that there never going to be worth what ya spend on them lol

    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.
