1293 Turbo neon - Rebuild Pt2
Turbo Mini Forums

Did you check the end float? If there's excessive endfloat and you have to change the triangle or shim it to get it right it will change the sprocket alignment.

I am picking up a new triangle plate this afternoon.

End load is checked by putting it all together and tightening all down isn't it? how do i measure how much movement i have?

Cheers

same as your crank end float/thrust i believe

You have to install the triangle plate (6 possible way most of which look nearly right but only one is actually right) and then do up the big nut on the sprocket.

The ideal way to measure end float is with a DTI on the sprocket and gently lever it up/down with a blunt instument.

If you don't have access to a DTI, depending on the design of the aftermarket sprocket, you should be able to get feeler gauges inbetween the back of the sprocket and the triangle plate (with it levered up for the float in that direction).

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Nice one cheers for the info

I believe my DTi etc will be heading Nick's direction in the near future.

How much end float should I have roughly?

couple of thou.

3-7 thou I believe.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

If it's a new thrust plate I would expect 3 thou or less. A bit more on a used one.

Ideally you want similar to the crank so the chain stays straight.

With the standard setup it isn't adjustable, it's based on the thickness of the boss on the back of the sprocket because the triangle plate is clamped between that boss and the face of the end of the cam.

Aftermarket stuff may need adjusting with machining the boss or adding shims but hopefully not if the supplier did their job right.

Would anybody like to purchase my uprated idle gear washers? extra strength.......

what the..

The correct washers according to kappa. Gooooooooood one

Hi Nick, may i ask "whats with the oil drain plug".

It seems it was a good idea to strip the engine before installation.

What the mind can conceive the mini can achieve
MITP 2012 17.01 seconds 1/4 mile against "The Don"
MITP 2013 16.83 seconds 1/4 mile

No idea haha, replacing it for a magnetic plug anyway.

Yeah it's been a long nightmare so far.

This cunt needs a turd in a box posting to him.

Not a nice solution, but fairly better than sparkplugs i've seen there in the past.

It's a little car .... eating big money

From what i remember when i took the sump plug out it threaded back in fine and didn't leak when i put oil in when i first got the engine back hoping it would free up.

That is outrageous! Lol

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Are you planning on stripping the 'box down as well?

That wasn't in my plan/budget.

I do have a good gearbox on my other engine which i am very tempted just to use and just swap the x-pin diffs over. The only problem i will have is to get a reducer bearing fitted for the drop gears as they are pre a+

Will a SPI fuel tank be alright guys? how easy would it be to fit a MPI pump? (if i could get a cheap one)

I have his address if anyones feeling a big shit in a parcel.

Spi tank delivers up to 1bar fuel pressure so up to 10psi boost should be ok.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.
