hey guys, i recently posted up why my VCT was leaking, bought all parts and now it seems like my Bolt holding the VCT camgear in is out too much, the washer looks very thick, not like a normal flat washer, is that normal? the bolt sticks out so much that i cant put the VCT cover plate spring and 4 little bots on. an help appreciated !

if you jiggle it you will feel there's a groove it goes into, I suggest you pull off the timing belt to get in into place

once it goes into place then hold the cam with a wrench and torque up the nut.. it will then sit flush and allow you to put the spring/cover/seal on

Because you have different cams I would not activate vct until you know you can. Cams with more overlap cant run vct or else the inlet and exhaust valves could hit.

Obviously you need to fix the leak though but dont plug in the solenoid until you are sure its ok.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
