hope uve got it sprted Raj.
:brickwall:
:coffee:
obviously stalling cos its still not working and the cam aint the problem.... shoddy workmanship if you ask me. :laugh:
a part that you were missing eh?? maybe the reason why it didnt idle ;)
so how did the engine idle after i'd built it with the same cam in?
I fear the worst mate, if I'm being honest; ie, that the cam you've removed isn't the root of your problem :( Hope I'm wrong though :agree:
Hope it's all now tickity boo mate. If not, perhaps ya man Sparkie there needs to cast his hairy hands over your engine again?
if scoff and co cant sort it, i doubt my 'hairy hands' will have the sparkle to perform miracles. :laugh:
Still no joy then Raj?
:innocent:
Just pour some sand into the carb
:laugh:
Raj i wouldnt use sand paper mate, a bit of emory cloth should do the trick i would have said, you wont have to worry about leaving sand behind?
What about a dremmel?
How is a smooth inlet tract gonna stop the car from idling?
Never heard of that mate

Have a butchers at this, you can get it on a roll which is easier!
errr, ok are you saying the head you have on has no squish area?
isn't that the infamous gr.A head mod?
Part of the squish area can be removed if ya trying to lower the c/r (after a head-skim for example), so nothing abnormal there.
Again, I fear you're barking up the wrong tree :(
just a thought raj me old mukka.....do you have the water pipes connected up to the inlet manifold heating element?
how smooth are your inlet ports? - shiny as in mirror finish, or are they still matt finish, with faint scratches in across the runner...not lengthways down it.
how well do your gaskets/manifolds match that fancy head?
You might want to check your combustion chamber volume now that it's apart, standard is 43.4cc.
i would have said your runners are fine.
what happened to "its a totally standard cylinder head" raj :D
Can someone point out too me the machined part on the head as i cant recognise it please?
Thanks for that Scoff, this is getting more confusing as time goes on!
so basically, nothing appears to be standard on this engine at all?
what next N/A 1.1 pistons, cos you wanted to save a few bob?:laugh:

I use a syringe coz I'm cheap :laugh:
Hello?? Am I the only one here not grasping the fact why the head/runners are causing the engine to not idle?
I think the head inlet ports/tracts would have to be super polished/mirror finish before you could possibly point the finger at them for causing a cr8p idle, but even then I'm not totally convinced, as, as mentioned earlier, the majority of fuel atomisation takes place in the venturi/inlet throat/manifold.
Maybe on an efi setup, where the injector(s) is nearer to the inlet port(s), then it's feasible, but I can't see it on the gtt's carb'd setup, not when there's a fair 'distance' between venturi & head ports for the atomisation to take place.
I might be completely wrong, and I hope I am, in that you finally get your engine running properly, but I do personally think you're barking up the wrong tree with this one.
well, yeah, your right ofcourse mart but trust me, when you hunt around that engine you'll be grasping at straws just like I was :D
good to hear m8!
