On my 308 most of the sniffer tubes were blocked although some of them could be cleared by ramming bicycle type brake cable down them. I could...
DREMEL.... grinding, polishing, drilling, cutting toenails (as in the Fastest Indian, great film that)
Well this is part of my job so although Im sure there are plenty of people with more experience it should be more or less like this Torque...
Peter, I guess you were undoing the nut and not the bolt? The nut would be a lot easier than the bolt as the bolt would not have to unstick...
I see Superformance have started making proper hexagonal nuts for the cam drive pulleys, (part no 30815105 half way down this page) :...
The door seals pretty well when shut and I just closed off the air vents. It is a little strange because under normal circumstances you want a...
For my 2 cents - I think the temperature is not important but the amount of water in the air. I run a small de-humidifier in my once-damp...
The short answer is - the correct tightening torque. Just to explain, part of my job is laying out bolted joints for production diesel engines....
Artvonne, did you get the oil leak fixed? I just read this for the first time but I see the original post was back in July. A thought - when the...
Thanks for the link Christopher. This looks like a fancy bit of software. I tried to write something similar using GPS tracking data from...
Great idea with the sound card. Think i'd be frightened of vapourising my laptop!! What exactly was 'wired appropriately'? I had a similar...
Ticking like that doesn't sound right! I agree with the comment to look for oil leaks around the cam-belt drive pulleys. That would be a sign...
Ben, when you say it takes a long time to settle down, do you mean to 1000 rpm or to 2500 rpm? In any case setting up the idle is a bit tricky,...
Thanks for the replies.. I'll just pop down to my local FIAT agent. Richard
Well, I hate to admit this but having topped up the oil, I went for a run without putting the filler cap back on. Question now is where to get a...
Just for information, there were at least two designs. In the earlier cars, behind the cam drive gear, there is an oil seal and a ball bearing...
Come to think of it, my lawn mower has electronic ignition, uses lead free AND has a catalyst. I've probably got the strongest and most...
I agree fully with the loose connection bit Artvonne. Don't agree my prized 77 308 can be compared to my lawnmower though... :)
Classic reply Mike !!! (Also Artvonne's with his cat and a ball of string...) don't you just love Fchat. Seriously though, sounds like...
I agree with 2NA, if there are no signs of leakage (soot and burn marks?) past the fire ring on the gasket I would (unfortunately) put my money on...
