i finally got my tranny rebuilt AGAIN, now i have to start adressing all the other problems.
the timing belt cracked and ate through both covers, i need to replace them.
is there a main cause of this or do i have to be more spesific? i think maybe a cam is bent, it looks like the one closer to the cockpit is wiggling a bit, could this also be caused by a loose belt?
i know i have to replace a lot of gaskets, and my car is bellowing a lot of white smoke... it leaks oil pretty bad but theres a whole lot on the underneath, i think its just the gaskets.
i hear a little bit of ticking in the engine but nothing bad, only when going past 3000 rpm's.
another thing is my car wobbles a lot but the disc on the back is warped a bit, i just want to know if any of my engine problems would add to the vibration?
my rad is shot, and it leaks at the end of the hose. engine gets pretty hot, i have to get around to that a.s.a.p i know but i wont be driving it until at least the rad is changed.
i think theres a big leak around the intake gasket, are there any main vaccum hoses around there that i should worry about if changing the gasket doesnt work? besides using a tube as a stethiscope, any good ways to detect for leaks?
and another question i cant find out myself... how much would a stock car pull? i want to know if my car is boosted any higher than stock, after driving it today it just seems FAST!!
anyways, pm's would be REALLY appreciated, or even just replies... i want to have the car running at least for a bit before i put it away. thanks!
