That was a close one....( MOT ...)

[Mr.Sumo]

1st MOT since i have had the Capri today.....and she failed

 

 

Not too sad though :

 

No split pins on Track rod ends

No split pins on Steering joints

 

Both Headlights out of alignment

 

Fuel leak from split pipe at fuel tank

 

O/S/R Foglight U/S

 

 

All fixed in an hour or so.....Another years test passed

 

Also adjusted tappets , new rocker gasket , oil change , timing was out by 14degrees...plugs , leads changed , new dizzy...and fitted new cambelt....

 

its like driving a completely different car

[Mrs O/H/C]

nice one Sumo !!

[w p e]

so what was thetiming set at it should have been 14 degrees btdc?

[X-pack-Glyn]

Sumo, did you reveal to whoever set the timing (and i genuinely DONT know) the full spec of the engine.... like the RL 31 sat in there?

 

the timing on the engine was set too 14 degrees BTDC for a reason!

 

and for future reference (should such info be needed) the cams dialed to 107 crank degrees!

 

the cambelt fitted was an uprated burton one and covered aprox 1000 miles under my ownership, and the HT leads were magnacors and should have lasted many years ???

 

If you require the full SP/settings on the engine anytime il be happy to PM you the full spec details.
