Help stuck in Leeds ...

no holds barred

 

i need this back on the road by next week and in all honesty i thinks its my own fault and getting it to him would cost a lot of cash and time but im away again on friday and working all week so will have to bite the bullet and just get her fixed !!

 

got home bud the treatment was the same no change and the smoke was filling up the town lol,i need her fixed up buddy !! just need a push of what to replace and ill pop them in and give her a blip again !! looks to only be no 1 but is it worth doing both to have peace of mind

 

let paul or zed or a n other guide you on this one bud , good luck .

 

im home safe was quicker and cheaper in the yellow taxi lol ill have her fixed up in no time lol cheers for your help

 

Well it's consuming oil from the pics.

 

I used to have that drive and spirit

 

Pop the valves out and see how much movement in the guides, if they are ok chuck a set of rings in it !!! Sounds a bit blazey but if you want to get back on the road quickly !!!

 

Pull the barrels of the pistons and have a look at the rings

Then it could be a very worn valve guide if its not a stuck or snapped ring

 

Ok brill

ok brill cheers guys ill have a look and photo ect thanks again

 

Dont mess with the heads untill you have inspected the rings

 

I would check both while its apart

 

God no won't mess with them as no idea and not no how come apart

 

But if he drops half a collet of a valve will he be able to get another one before he needs the engine back together

If the rings are all complete and as they should be then of course strip the head
If hes missing half a scraper ring then the heads are fine but wheres the rest of the ring

 

Could break a ring easier than loosing a collet (unless you remove it on your lawn) !!! ps @1973daisey if you drop a collet at any time I have a spare

 

right ok heres the pistons they look lil scored not sure if this is normal ??

 

How many mile has that done since rebuild ?

 

i just been looking is there 2 collets on each valve and these hold in the groves which hold the valve in !! been reeding

 

4500miles nearly bud (if they were new when they fitted them that is )
