hodge Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Another eventful day on the car today. I've finished off all the little bits that needed doing, and also filled her with oil. I had a spare hour or so while the misus was out shopping so I knocked this up. A nice mirror polished brake and clutch resevior heatshield. And yes I know, the pics are rubbish, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Very tidy John, loving that mate. I need to get lee to sort something out for mine as the hks shields are too big for what I have at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get lee to sort something out for mine as the hks shields are too big for what I have at the moment I'm sure he'll sort you out Rob, lee seems to have great fabrication skills. Very nice mate, looks spotless, good luck with the new engine. Thanks Jamie. I am actually shitting myself about start up though if I'm honest.

hodge Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Pipework I ordered hasn't showed, so I won't be starting it this weekend. Pretty gutted really, but what can I do. On the upside, I've spun the engine over on the key today with no plugs in, just to start getting the oil around the engine. It spins beautifully. Very smooth and effortlessly. Chris Wilson has done an amazing job on the bottom end balancing and rebuild. Fingers crossed I'm on for fire up next week now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no huge drama though and it's going to be worth the wait. Looks awesome now with that mahoosive snail sitting there, looks almost fake lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I'd get to the end and see it all finished but am kind of glad it's not ! I have something to look forward to now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Update on the car but not a great 1 if I'm honest, as I'm a little stumped. I tried firing the car up yesterday, and it's having none of it. The Syvecs is stopping it fire by cutting fuel etc. It's stopping it fire and giving me a (short tooth gap) then (long tooth gap) alarm. I've checked the cranking waveform and it looks ok to me, but I've logged it and emailed it to Ryan to see off he can see anything wrong. I'm just waiting on his reply now. I could understand if I just got a long tooth gap alarm which would mean there was a problem with the crank timing sprocket maybe missing a tooth, but the short tooth gap has me stumped especially seems the timing sprocket is brand new. I wonder if I have a faulty crank sensor maybe? Anyone got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I was going to say check the crank sensor, But you beat me too it We often get faulty crank sensors at work after the engine rebuilds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 I was going to say check the crank sensor, But you beat me too it We often get faulty crank sensors at work after the engine rebuilds I'm sure I've got a spare crank sensor in my tool box, it's only a 15min job, I'll try and get only it at the weekend. I've got to give Ryan a call on Saturday anyways, so maybe he can shed some light on the problem. But fingers crossed the crank sensor will sort it.

hodge Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Here's a quick vid of the start issues as seen on the Syvecs software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Gutted for you, John. Hopefully it all turns out to be something simple. At least the Syvecs is doing its thing though!! Looking forward to the roar when she finally fires... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I hate problems like this, similar to Robs but with Robs its random. Hope you get it sorted mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Doh! looks like its similar to mine John but as Lee said, mine tends to mess after a blast or when hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm going to swap the crank sensor and see if that helps. I've got a feeling it's either that or it's wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crank sensor seems most likely John, i still have a feeling mine is crank sensor but only due to my VW/Audi days! they always mess around and give similar faults. Double check the wiring too! wont take you 5 mins as there aint much loom left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm sure you will get to the bottom of it John. Good luck with the initial start up...can't wait to see this car again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
