Clear as mud,

Alan, each shell should have std stamped on it, if original and unground. There are 3 grades of shell size (0,1 & 2) with the std crank grind (to make the clearance correct for...

You can't miss them mate,

Whip the front wheel off, look at disc/stub axle - connected to the bottom of this is a bar going forward and inwards, ending with a big rubber bush, >2inches (unless...

2.5hrs.....

I'm impressed. Me more like 5 (with fag break..)

Mine look just like yours, maybe bit more copper but crank looks OK still, we'll see.


Still waiting on 1 bearing to come in.

Cheers for the thoughts,

Crank is still in the car... Could have done this 3 months ago when the motor was out - 'don't fix it if it ain't broke' I seem to remember, chatting away to myself....

Nissan main dealer: 'Sorry sir, we don't have a schematic for your S13 crankshaft codes - I think a N14 (sunny?) is similar....'

Pls help - Numbers stamped on my No1 counterweight: I've got 11111...

When replacing big end shells with motor in ( :mad: ) how do you get the right shell size code? All mine that came out are std with code 4200 (ie code 0) so I could put all new ones this size back...

Doing the big ends too....

Journals all look good - there's hope yet.

Bit of a bitch getting that sump off - Quick question when putting the sump back on how do you keep fresh sealant where it...

Just to say that I agree it's prolly exhaust to manifold or tubby to downpipe gasket on the way out - both sound tractor like.

In a week or two you'll know for sure....

Shouldn't do any harm...

If it's still there, I'll have it - ta very much

I've PM'ed you.

:D :D

Don't buy a cheap tubby/down pipe gasket - make sure you get a all metal sealed one ~£15 from Nissan (AutoJap may be fine but not sure) Other ones burn out pretty pronto.

If DIY then buy decent...

Thanks for the reply,

Sounds like thats my problem.

Cheers

Can do a simple check the on the CAS - mark it up - remove - turn ign on - turn CAS shaft steadily - look for regular sparks on a plug and hear the injectors clicking nicely without the mota running....

Blastid damn thing :mad: :mad:

My std mota ('92 Cat) has burnt another zorst valve. 3rd time in 28K.

Previous owner sold it when it went 2nd time - first time she got burnt (sorry;) at Nissan...

Might be worth doing a compression test or at least check the plugs - mine felt pretty dead off boost for a few weeks before burning a valve out.

Hope it's an easy leccy or fueling prob instead....

Shock shouldn't give/move without resistance at any point. Depends on the shock whether they reset or not.

Sounds knacked to me. Get a mate to drive behind and look for wheel patter - if you can...

I had a similar problem - lots of popping and occasional firing on a few pots. Would not start.

My Crank Angle Sensor shaft decided to stress fracture internally - right into 2 bits. Drove me...

You're not going to like this....

I have a similar problem with lots of carbon deposit, having just done the mainfold gaskets. A few months back everything was nice and clean whilst doing a new...

Thanks guys for the suggestions.

Not sure what to do - gonna try disconnecting the breather pipe into turbo inlet and see what collects in a pot! This is the only oily breather pipe. Should be...

Don't say that guys...

Surely it would smoke pretty bad if the rings were that knacked?

I did the head recently, having bought it with a known burnt valve. Compression was OK at the time (~10...

Apart from odd turbo gasket, all been well except for monstrous oil consumption.

On a brisk drive to Southampton it drank about 1L in 155miles!

It's not too fussy what it drinks, 5-40 fully...

Thanks for the tips guys,

Would you believe this:

Took Crank Angle Sensor out to check sparks 'n injectors OK - turn shaft and get occassional spark/inj click, mmmn feels a bit odd. Took apart...

Been checkin sparks, compression and fuel supply

No leccy pump noises at all..

Finally finished putting me head on - everything looks hunky dory. Tried to start but it only caught on 1 or 2 pots a few times without lasting more than a second. Get the occassional pop and can...

Thx again

Feelin Lucky

Head should be going on tomorrow - if I can find a few bods to risk their back to lift knacked one off (with inlet + Tubby)

If all goes well I can feel the mod bug...
