Re: airman's build - **strange transmission issue? 7/18**

What clutch setup are you using? If it's "whitebunny", make sure to look at your dust plate. Mine had contact on the back of the FW and caused similar issues.

she runs.
stabbed the dizzy in at90 180 270 and 360 off and check and must've been timing somewhere off..
anyhow.

good news is that she runs
bad news is cyl4 is giving me trouble and she has hard time starting without the starter fluid.

I just thought of this, but how can only one valve be leaking so much?
I remember perfectly setting mechanical timing because my entire exh valves were bent because I didn't have it correct.. But after the leakdown, I only felt #1 exhaust valve towards the cabin leaking..
Struck me odd...

I've been having the same issue with my motor too and my mech timing is perfect along with dizzy timing and mine is also not running. I'm gonna swap out stock cams this weekend hopefully and that should eliminate the bad camshaft variable..

But it didn't reek of gas anywhere other than when I undid the inlet hose on the rail and spilled some gas on the floor.

Infact, I did crank it a quite few times but intense fuel smell never occured..

Quick question.. I'm kinda suspecting the injectors may be problematic.. If I recall correctly, I cranked the motor quite few times and I never smelled gas REEKING out the exhaust side.. I know for sure my fuel pump is good because it primes when I touch the positive jumper to my power wire on the c...

Yes, I think I'm gonna try that also.. I had it igniting one or two cyls at a time sometimes but it'd fire into the intake mani which means it's backwards lol, and ever since I fixed that issue and set it to perfect timing it hasn't done it since.. I'm gonna recheck with my timing gun and post back

Yeppers.. Tried that and it was spraying like mist.. Not sure how much it's supposed to spray though.. Before on my other cars, iirc if I kept cranking, the motor would reek of gas but not on this one.. Maybe i can do the same for the motor in my running s13 and see how it sprays!

i'm probably gonna have to check my mechanical timing again..

i did what ya said about three times now and no fire :(
I'll check cam placement at tdc and chime back.

that's the only thing I can think of now... bad mechanical timing

Could the 120 compression have something to do with it?

Now some history on the shell: I purchased it maybe 10-12months ago and let it sit for a bit.. got a little lazy, no biggie. Car didn't run with the motor in it before, come to find out it ha...
