Camshaft & Crankshaft Alignment

[Billie]

Was a blown fuse, easy fix, it had a 5 amp fuse in it, sed 10 amp on the case.

[Billie]

I still havn't started it yet. Will do tomorrow, and if i can't work out the timing gun, i'll ask road worthy dude to do it before he goes over it.

[Billie]

I tried cranking it, no fuel is getting to the fuel filter, might be fuel pump.

[Billie]

It started up. Got a mobile mechanic to have a look, he sed it was good that i got him to do the bit i couldn't, also sed it should pass road worthy easy. Going to ring a few places now, get some prices. Hopefully rego'd tomorrow. My 2nd dary throttle thing in carbie is lose, he's worried it might fall into engine, and sed it might sputter when going 60km/h or more. So i'll chase one of them up, i have a spare but it doesn't have the same hoses on it, for my intake. Thanks everyone for your help.

Road worthy booked for tomorrow morning, fingers crossed it passes.

Ohh even better news, engine warms up, then when it gets near 3/4 fan comes on and cools it down to 1/4 ish. And it idles without the choke. And sounds like a beast. Soo Happy

[Billie]

It passed. He said he couldn't fault it woohoo

[Billie]

Took it for a drive with no plates coz the rego wanted to inspect the engine, coz the numbers didn't match. Brakes pulse and vibrate quite abit, anyone know what it is, i got the wheel bearings done before rotors went on.

disk rotor's need machining

[Billie]

there brand new, all brakes are, and rears are machined.

[Jermaine]

got the calipures bolted on tight?

[Billie]

very tight. Would it be that the pads and discs havnt worn togeather yet? As it was its first real drive.

[Jermaine]

u have to bed the pads in, ya cant go straight out flat stick nd just hit the brakes lol..

[Billie]

lol, thought so, it just makes the whole car rumble, i'll take it for a drive tomorow around side streets.

I'd also check the following items out when trying to work out what's going on in the front end.

Caliper slides - do they slide freely?
Nothing at all is loose? Steering rack, or anything bolted to it.
Swap another set of tyres on the front - they could be incorrectly balanced or out of balance.
Rotor might be slightly warped - i put brand new rotors on & one was not quite flat on the pad surface from the factory!

The rotor wasn't out by enough to cause brake shudder according to the brake joint, it was out tho, but we tested with another set of tyres & even had all the front end bits looked over. I ended up getting the rotor machined, and the issue went away......

On larger car's like falcon's i've seen rotors out by 3 times as much & not vibrate....
