  1. ari in the black escort http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbl8LgLX ... ed&search=
  2. my escort had old drivers from new and a doris previous owner so my car hadnt seen 4000rpm in 29 years
  3. we did think that when fitting it but on the clutch plate itself it had "flywheel side" printed on it so thats how we did it. heavy duty upgrade might be an answer tho?? maybe once the engine is revving it might i dunno centre itself out or free up or something??? il find out definately wen it crunches wen the engine is running
  4. i have a brand new from the box clutch for my escort its the write modle and everything but it looked different eg instead of 6 springs it had 5 biger ones and instead of lots of those peg things the thrustbearing pushes it has like 7 or something i fitted in fine but wen i roll the car on a gentle slope ( 1 mph ) dip the clutch to put it in first gear it wont go in and if you pust hard it just slows the car down. i havent tried with the engine running yet as its a brand new engine and first startup will be tonight.... ive tried adjusting the cable with the nuts so their is more movement but it aint having it.... also its real stiff but i gues its coz its new????? i rele dont wanna take the fooking gearbox or engine out again

  15. ok il set the tappets again.. the guy who put the cam in must have done that 108 degrease thing wen he put it in hes a engine modifyer so i gues he knows his stuff thanks for ya help would their realy be any difference if i re did the tappets i mean its like 2 thou and 4 thou difference
  16. wat do you mean by 108 degrees?? how does this correspond to the marks on the timing cover. ive set the tappet gaps as standard clearance inlet - 12 though and exhaust 22 though does this mean i have to re adjust it too 14 and 18?? this is ver confusing
