How are these tires behaving noise wise for daily driving? I am to put on the same type of 17” rims.

At this very moment all electricity is produced by wind in Denmark.

Or just loosen the banjo bolts below both tanks.

How did you end up with this?

Hi Tocus I have put new adjustable GAZ in my 84 The 82 has the adjustable Protech damper. Here the adjusting knob fouls with the spring! Up to 85 the front spring rest on the lower wish bone, whereas models from 85 have coil overs. I was looking into fitting coil overs my self. The spring cup must be cut away, and the lower wish bone modified for the extra load from these coil overs. Havent done it, as the wish bone is in such good shape. But do still have this on my wish list. Rebuild of my 84 is not completed yet. But if its still sitting too high, I will propably go that route. Though, instead of cutting up original wish bone, I will make a new one where the camper can be adjusted as well.

Thanks for allthe input. It turns out that the plastic piston is kind of cocked in the tension body bore, and not moving freely. Ordered a new piston and bore from SJs.

Not really. It's simply something I refuse to fit. Will you please colaborate?

Is there any reason to suspect that the blue belt is the culprit? Belt a bit shorter? The belt is from SJ Sportscars, and have a similar belt at my 82 TE without any issue. (If its from same supplier?) During this weekend I will attend it a bit further.

Good point with zip ties. yes, I have turned the engine by hand. Several times. The belt is tight, but I find the adjusting screw kind of far out. which worries me a bit.

Hi Gis. Kind of glad to hear this, as I am a bit reluctant to disassemble the engine again. Nor taking any risk This 84 is equipped with AC.

You might be right. I replaced the springs, but fail to noticing this before I placed the engine back in

Maybe I put it wrong calling it idler. I am refering to the adjustment screw for the timing belt tension pulley.

New blue timing belt. Thightened to 113 Hz at 30 BTDC. All good! However, looking at how fare the tension adjustment bolt is sticking out from idler pulley body concerns me a bit. Can anyone confirm if this looks OK?

My apology. Missed to see that you switched location with the low oil pressure switch. Just saw it as you located it below the oil pressure transducer.

There is no oil flow where you fitted that sensor, so it cant read the oil temperature!

Can someone please help my memory! I have the interior completely redon, and long ago disassembled the glove box lid for recovering. But cant remember if the black plastic back side is riveted to the lid? Figure that it must have been like that, since screws will be too long. But unsure

The vacuum for you HVAC goes from a Tee close to the vacuum pump, up behind left fuel tank and further up under the roof, left side along the a-piller to underneath the dash board.

Did you manage a good solution for this? Would you mind sharing photos of your result?

Here is a photo of the US muffler. I also attached a photo of a US car where you actually can see the battery box hanging low behind the rear frame. Whereas the battery is on top of the tail pipes on Domestic cars.

It is due the difference UK/US cars. Domestic have divorced wastegate outlets by twin tail pipes from the muffler. dDue to the Cat, the US cars has single tail pipe in an akward angle just clearing the battery box. Domestic cars has the battery close to the fender, and not the same type of this derp battery box. You prpably have to cut the box 😞

He is asking under this section, which is for Giugiaro Esprits!

Was supposed to be a reply to "Can I use diesel in the Esprit then? "

NO! And dont ask how I know that 😞

I have fitted them, and reamed to spec. I beleive that they content some copper. They are kind of redish in color, and a bit crisp. I think they are a generic high spec valve guide, with a reces for a valve stem seal. They are equal to the ones fitted in my 1982, but I have fitted seals. I must add that I with this engine encountered a sticking valve 4 or 5 times just efter some bust runs with boost. Leaving the engine running on 3 cylinders. Scary, but no harm. So I do consider to continue without seals and benefit better lubrication of the valve.

What I mend is that last time I rebuild a 910 I did receive and used seals. But this time Garry didnt supply them with the new guides. I havent succeeded in reaching Garry. But I got on hold with Pete from PNM, and he does not use seals when he rebuild engines. Many engines were made in the past without seals. I just dont want that puf of blue smoke, and dont want to fowl the spark plug. @Chillidoggyhave you run your engine yet without seals?
