Leaving work at 3 to go and get it. Guy said it sounds sweet but still has the hesitation so i will whip the IC pipes off tomorrow and have a look at them and get the liquid metal out

[Dave_S]

Congrats loopy apple nose

Should have mine in a few days too

Dave

[Dave_S]

NOOOOOOO

Just rang the garage up and they've found a HUGE crack in the manifold around number4 branch (thanks for that Steve ) and the whiney noise appears to be not the power steering pump but something in the engine itself. The mechanic thinks it may be the timing chain He's gonna ring back this afternoon

How much do you want to spend? How about Bean14s?

[Dave_S]

Yeah thats the right price but it's a little far away Although there are NO other S14s in autotrader at the moment that are withing 90 miles with low mileage or not AUTO.

Dave

[luke 200]

s13 perhaps?

Seriously though, Unlucky mate, nothing worse than getting your hopes up and then someone p1ssing on yer fire.

[Dave_S]

Well, having thought about it (and consulting a respected source )

I might as well get this one It's just what I want and the likelyhood of other S14s having this problem is high if it's an engineering fault. We will see when he rings back later though.

Oooh, you didnt say the whine could be the timing chain!!!

No way should there be a whine from a chain.

Find out exactly what the whine turns out to be before you make any decisions.

[Dave_S]

well he said belt but what with there not being one I assumed chain. Maybe he meant a different belt. I'll find out when he rings me (if he does )

Dave

[Phil L]

Thought chains can't whine...they rattle.

[Mark]

Just picked here up, is much better just need to sort the pipes. Whats the easiest/quickest way to get the IC pipes out. Is it wheel off, inner arch out?

BTW this thread is about me me me me me me

[Dave_S]

Glad to hear yours is good

Yeah I'd say wheel off arch out

Dave
