  3. Valve seals

    in General Celica Discussion

    Posted

    I may just strip it down and try the rope trick because it would certaily be interesting to find out if it would work. If it doesnt then i'm half way to having the head off anyway and like Dorris has said it would be stupid not to replace the belt and pullys.

    1 Head gasket set

    2 Streach bolts

    3 Timeing belt set

    4 Valve steam seals

    Does anyone know if i would need to replace the cam shaft bearings after they have beed disturbed, also with it being an alloy head would it need to be skimmed at all.

    Thanks everyone for help.

    the theory is there but i can see a few problems.

    1st would be the amount of smoke he had after doing the work. :lol: was it a diesel?

    2nd that is only an 8valve head.

    3rd plugs are in the centre on the 3sge

    4th the head on the 3sge is deep

    5th i dont think there is a pry bar spring compressor for the 3sge.

    apart from that it should be simple. :D

    No his oil rings had gone LMAO so he completely wasted his time anyway.

    Thanks everyone for the replys. The main thing i was going to try is: Remove the cams, lower piston and feed nylon rope into cylender through spark plug holes. Then move piston up untill valves are held up by the rope and use spring removal tool. (similar to whats in this video

    ) I know hes working on a hunk of junk but it gives the idea of what i was thinking of trying and others seem to think it is possible. The engine has passed a full emissions test and it seems to be down to just one bad oil seal. Just my luck :(

    If I were you I'd buy a decent clutch from a supplier and have a local garage of a good reputation fit it. I'm sure it would be a lot less than 600 odd quid, Damn! Saying that I've just paid £225.00 to have my hand brake all replaced for it's MOT. Bad time of year for all these bills

  9. Problem starting the car

    Sounds to me like it could be the bushes inside the starter motor as the solenoid sounds like it's firing out the starter cog ok.

    Take off the starter and test it on the floor with jump leads and a piece of wire, Positive to the battery terminal on it and negative to the casing and touch a link from the positive to the small terminal that goes to you ignition on the starter.

    Hope this helps somewhat.

    I have done this on a few occasions and it has always worked for me - Get a nut that fits over the snapped or rounded bolt and weld through the centre of the nut thus welding the nut to the snapped end of the bolt, the heat also help free up the ceased in section of the bolt. Just be careful not to weld the nut to anything apart from the snapped bolt end. Hope this may help with your problems.
