Just finished installing my poncams and valve springs. Started the car and first crank started no worries worked all day. Now just set the timing to 15 degrees went for a light drive no boosting and was going fine no probelm them all of a sudden at the lights stalls and doesnt start again.

Took off the top timing belt cover and checked if the cams were still alligned and they are both alright havnt skipped and the belts tension seems fine so I dont see how it could have skipped a gear so running out of ideas.

Don't convince yourself it's anything at all to do with the cams. You'll probably find that it would have happened regardless of whether you changed them or not. Just check the usual things.

Although, CAS could play a part in this, maybe not the plug but it could have died as a result of being removed.

Just abit of an update. I have noticed the back of the cas had made contact with the cam gear bolts and has sort of grinded it as you can see in the pic. I think it happened due to I didnt put the top timing belt cover on. Could this affect the CAS?

and?

you need to have the timing belt cover or a spacer of the same thickness between the CAS and its bracket, otherwise it gets pushed into the cam too far. cant see anything wrong with it from that picture tho?

yep I reckon youve kill the cas, I was told to be sure to use the rubber spacer that is on the cam gear cover otherwise as stated above the cas sits too far in, and yep can kill the cas, I was running no timing gear cover but the tuner said it was a common mistake to have happen and he sees it often

Just put everthing back together and put it on with the timing cover this time started up first crank guess I was lucky didnt kill the CAS. Its one of those things that are really simple but you just dont think about it.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
