supra dan Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 glad to hear its running, how did you free the stuck valve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Whats the plans for it then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 glad to hear its running, how did you free the stuck valve? Removed camshaft, repeatedly tapped it until it came up, WD40, oil (lots of it) left it to soak overnight. Next day was still a bit slow to return so refitted cam shaft and turned it manually and it freed up almost immediately just needed the extra pressure that we couldnt get on it by hand. The plan. I have pm'd Matt about finishing the alarm( he needed engine running to complete) lots more interior turning up tomorrow (thank you jezzybabes and homer!) then 19/20 weekend Laz will finish the arches and in between times we'll get anything still missing from Toyota I guess. Then MOT then GAME ON! I'm sure we will find bits as we go- for example the ignition barrel light never goes off and that drains the battery, brake lights have stopped working even though we got them working last weekend, few gremlins like that. The FCON etc need plumbing back in, hoping it's still mapped. I take nothing for granted with that car!!! It's never easy and something else always goes wrong/crops up!
