Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

And the shenanigans begin... First monthly pay from decmil and I'm pretty sure I've just been paid my base salary with no site loading...

Thats far from ideal. I can see the two figures being very very different

SO, my afternoon and night got interesting yesterday. Was going to head out the the harry's meet cause i was bored as fark... Decided to put the front timing cover back on to make it look a bit better. Marked up the CAS and everything as normal, took it off then put it all back on as normal. Cranked it over and heard a crunch so shut it down and took it all apart again.

After a bit of probing and prodding, I found that the "half moon" nubs in the CAS and on the end of the cam must not have been lined up perfect and it snapped the one off the end of the cam.... Not an ideal situation.

After some head pondering between a mate and I we came to a resolution. We ended up being able to line up where the half moons would be and get the CAS back on in that spot then line up the original markings we made.

Put it all back together and started it up and it cranked over fine and sounded like normal. We free revved it a bit and all seemed good, next was time to take it for a drive and see what it was like under load. We started with normal driving and occasionally getting into boost, all seemed fine. We gradually started giving it more and more throttle and everything was good. Finally we did one last pull, full noise through all 5 gears and it was exactly the same as normal.

Even still I may look into a replacement cam just to be safe..

both half moons werent aligned properly and fouled on each other, however when i turned it over it was the one on the cam that decided to snap not the CAS. wish it was the CAS lol...

But yeah as i said a bit earlier there is no noticeable difference when driving the car. So "if" and thats a big "if" its out it can only a a degree or so as you cant hear or feel it.

Its aligned now. Im talking about the half moon that is on the front end of the camshaft. Like pull off the CAS and look in the whole where the centre goes in and locks into place. In there.. See google pic below

thats what I initially thought. And that is exactly how I busted my CAS.

Scotty we have a car in ATM with this bit broken off

The cas is perfectly fine if you get it in the right tooth

Just get a timing light and chuck it on and make sure it's in the right spot before...... Giving it to it

It should be fine that way even with the broken half but it's completely up to you of you want to replace...... Then I buy cam :devil:

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
