Vtisgilman Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Cam cover off for waterpump, cambelt and cam gear change. It is a bit dirty looking in there, sort of yellow coloured. Not sure if that's normal or not. Engine oil is bit old but clean but hopefully an oil change will sort it out. Sump needs to come off as it's leaking and iv got some baffles to weld in aswell so it will be changed then. While wheel was off to get to the crank pully I noticed how covered in brake dust it was so tried out some dragons breth on it. It was filthy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtisgilman Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Everything is back together and working great now. Just have to wear in the gearbox and clutch for 500 miles. That's probably been the hardest part, no vtec and driving like my gran till the 500 is up. Even without driving over 4000 rpm the car feels fast. The weight saving and short final drive has made a huge difference, the box is now shorter than an s80 so can't wait to see how it pulls when I can finally get into vtec again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty happy with most of the mechanical stuff now. Next big job will be roll Cage later in the year. Once that's done the interior needs painting and all the safety equipment fitted. 2 hours ago, dr_broon said: Some class stuff there mate.. I bet it properly shifts with that fd Ha thanks. I have no idea how fast it is yet as it's not been above 4000rpm yet. Even at that low in the revs it feels faster though, I think cam gears and flywheel must have helped as they were both a lot lighter. You can feel the engine pic up faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can feel the engine pic up faster I've got the 4.7 type r one and that made a massive difference, so the 4.9 must be epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
