I am currently in the process of replacing a bad head gasket on my 2f motor. I have everything removed and am ready to pull the head off but it seems to be stuck to the block and I cannot seem to get it to budge. Ive tried using the compression of the motor to separate the head from the block...
Update, the clutch disc now does indeed spin freely. However it does take some effort to spin it.... I thought maybe it could be my tranny not tourqued to the bellhousing propely, causing misalignment but its still doing the same thing.
So I had some one sit in the car and press the clutch pedal a couple of times for me, and I found that the part of the clutch disk that's visable, for sure disengages the fly wheel but still does not spin freely. So I'm guessing like you said it is getting hung up at the top, was there any way...
I have had a terrible feeling in my gut, since the clutch started having issues, that the plate was in backwards :bang:. Im trying eliminate all other possibilities before pulling out the tranny though. Hope fully I will get this settled today and I dont need to pull it.
Yes I have taken the fly wheel cover off and everything, from what I can tell, seems to be opereating properly. However, I did notice when putting it back together that one of the clips on the fork was missing, didn't think much of it, ill replace this tomorrow see if it helps. Replaced both...
Thank you for the responses on the last issue, I got it up and running now and everything seems to be done except for what should be my last issue. I installed a brand new clutch durring the rebuild and am now having troubles with it. Once the vehichle has been started in nuetral, with the...
Got it to run for a minute today off of starting fluid and couldnt be happier! Adjusted the vlaves, they were way out of wack, and she started right up, thanks 2mbb. Newb mistake I guess but its my first time doing a rebuild so you gotta cut me a little slack. Now... the fuel delivery issue...
Thank you for the detailed response. Call me a newb, but for some odd reason I never even thought of the valves being out of adjustment and I bet thats one of the main reasons it is starting up. I guess I just heard the guy who rebuilt the head say it should be all set and within spec so I never...
I have been in a slow process of rebuilding my motor for awhile now and I need some help with the final steps. I have everything put back together and everything seems to be working properly, how ever it does not run and there are a few issues that I need some input on.
1. Timing- I believe I...
Bump... I would like to know this as well as I am in the process of timing and I cant seem to get it perfect only close. Can it be "close" or does it have to be spot on?
Thanks for the replies guys. I did all the basic tune up stuff before I posted the questions. Oddly enough, over the past few days of driving her, the brake issue seems to be working itself out, not all the way but close now, and the tranny only howls some times now? I dont know how this stuff...
A little back ground... I blew the headgasket on my 84 60 last spring and decided to do a major engine overhaul while I was in there. I figured I could have it done by the time I went back to school in the fall. This wasnt the case. Its still is not finished and I wont have the time untill...
What are necessity items to save when desmogging? Basically I live at sea level have no AC and I am wondering what is the bare essentials that I need to keep her going?
Very true! longest extension I have ever used and as mwebfj60 said a swivel socket is essential! Those bolts are a PITA by far the worst bolts of the process but it can be done. I recently decided to pull and rebuild my 2f as well. This was my first engine pull/rebuild and I learned a lot in...
