Compression issue? Parts and guide to fix

Rob will 100% have refaced your followers. It doesn't take long for him because he's refaced thousands of them. He used to spend whole days doing buckets of them. Mixing them up is a non issue if refaced and I suspect a non-issue in general unless something is worn past tolerance but don't quote me on that last bit.

No, you won't need to run the cam in, it's already as hard as nails.

And finally it's fine to run new followers on an old cam. Anyone slapping in new hydro lifters in the hope they'll stay pumped up is doing exactly that.

 

I took the first case to a car jet wash.. Not bad and got rid of wors of oil but a karcher did a better job.... make sure you get all the water out of the oilways (spell check just suggested pikeys for that! )

Dangerous talk for a man on a limited budget as he'll have to remove the gallery plugs and this was meant to be a simple fix what's broke rebuild? So easy to run over budget by doing everything properly.

 

I hope you didn't miss this post - it's rather important. Mine took quite a bit of persuasion with a rubber mallet to split

 

It’s an old cam with old followers

 

He's got new followers in the post..

It's taking more effort to keep @davidoft in a straight line than the OP.

 

Time to enter smug mode.

Thank you so much zed there was a hidden bolt behind the flywheel, I use an old bit of wood and a wooden Mallet and peeled apart. New lifters arrived today I ordered them 1st.

Bout to pop to town to get cleaning supplies.

 

I thought @davidoft was replying to para.

 

Oops, so he was...this time.
I should be fitting that exhaust but it's too windy out there and forecast to remain that way until Monday...when I'll need the van for a super Marché run...one day the ducks will be in a row.

 

Comma hyper clean is good for de-greasing

 

One cam successfully swapped out. I marked the teeth on the old one before taking out then match up the new one.

 

There are dots on them to line up, turn the crank and make sure they do.

 

The old one was exactly 180° out do put back the same or should I line up the dots?

 

The one dot should go between the two dots

 

@jameswick89 I’ve been reading through this thread this afternoon and I’m sorry but I have no advice mechanically to offer , you have some very knowledgeable people already watching over you..

I see the way you are working, the facilities and finances you are working to are very much in line with me , we can make do , i do see a tremendous amount of willingness to get this sorted though, a lot would have thrown the towel in now ..

So hats of to you, keep calm, don’t rush , don’t cut corners keep asking questions - these guys love it , don’t feel that you’re inconveniencing people at all.

You’ll have the biggest smile and sense of achievement when you fire it up and it purrs like a kitten

 

Should be like this

 

Yep keep one between two dots.. has to go in place with the cam out of it's seats and roll it round on the cogs until the cam is back in the bearings, then spin the pair back to check.. if you havn't already done it... The 180 out should have just been distributer...not the gears on these cogs.

Are we talking about a type 4 engine here
Might sound like a purr with ear plugs in
