  1. Well I'm still alive I guess . Been through horrible times and adventures I'm sorry for being late. Thnx BURABUDA for your interest I appreciate that . Well better than most of my friends they didn't care even ........
  2. Yes i know :w00t: No they didn't , that damage in the tranny just happened without a warning .there was no whining or any kind of abnormal noise or vibration or metal shavings in the oil, the only thing is from day one the tranny shifted very good except the 3rd was a bit harder/stiffer . What about that while driving another gear tried to engage which resulted in the damage?as it's remote shift the cables may acquired some sort of springy force and tried to mis-shift while moving/wiggling ? A similar thing happened to me in the past when I replaced the stock shift knob with an aftermarket heavier one and I had 2 teeth broken out of 2nd ,the car was Opel Ascona 240.
  3. Mike..... I teared down the SK2 tranny yesterday and found the oil and internal parts(bearings,synchros,gears......) are in great shape and a very little amount of metal shavings but the front-bottom gear has 4 broken teeth (found them sunk in the bottom of the gear and the meshing gear has marks on it's teeth obviously as a result. Is there a clue on what happened? Is it worn used gear in the tranny or a good gear that overkilled? Does that mean the gears in the tranny are a pussy and can't take the torque multiplied by the auto? How could I tow bus using 1st for 1.5 km?
  4. OK after many calls of Ratsun audience, I decided to take chances and upload pics of the beast I fabricated!
  5. Nice to meet you Archer, take care of your daddy and drive safe! :thumbup:
  6. If all stock and timing,plugs, valve lash bla bla bla then my experience suggest 2.5 turns for very good economy and 3.5 for balanced economy/power. Use this info to be sure that your valve lash setting is done right, don't overlook this setting cos it's a bit tricky, if you've done it good you will get good idle.if very good then very good idle ...... and slightly faster and smoother idle. Good luck with excellent setting and idle and without vacuum leaks!
  7. By the way, Do you know a trick to disable the auto choke cos it's annoying that if I turn ign off for 5 mins then start the choke the stupid sequence is restarted again although its the summer now. I'm looking for easy/temporarily/cheap trick, Blocking some choke mechanism maybe???
  8. ggzilla......... I checked the carb rear :primary it's good and snapping back good, But the secondary isn't because of gunk/crap sticking the secondary and preventing it from snap back in addition to loose nut. Cleaned and tightened and now the problem is gone . Thank you ggzilla for the hint
  9. Well it sounds like it's absolutely the case. Anyway I plan to tear down that pig soon and look for a clue about the cause of the failure. If I came out with something I'll let you know. Again Mike, As far as I go after the limits of fabricating non-standard setups, you are the only one here to get advice from. Thnx a lot
  10. ggzilla........ coolant vaporizes about 130 Celsius You are adding water=You are loosing coolant Your rad cap is good + your engine temperature doesn't skyrocket = You are not loosing coolant by vaporization You are loosing coolant without vaporization = Your engine eats coolant Engine that eats coolant = engine that needs compression test unless you would like to blow the head gasket and ruin a hard-to-find engine if the problem is "ignored" . Case resolved . Stelios.....Spades made a nice coverage of the subject you want to know about. Don't be cheap and lazy, a compression test will tell you a lot about the condition and tune-up situation of your engine. For example if your engine head had head job lately and you want to be sure you have the correct valve clearance you can perform comp test to confirm that you have done the job right . It is pretty easy and cheap, I live in the capital of the third world and managed to fabricate an homemade comp tester by gutting out a trashy spark plug and welding it to a tire chuck then I used good tire gauge and that's it. Who knows you may only have to re-torque your head studs .Adding water(tap water)= adding Calcium+Magnesium+Ferrite salts= Fucking up the whole cooling system+significantly reducing gaskets life+Aluminum cavity +bla bla bla ......... and now pls comp test the hell of it.
  11. I say there is not old car and new car . there is well maintained car and IGNORED car .
  12. Without the clutch I'm forced to shift by rev matching only, currently it seems I cant get an adequate clutch system because of the torque multiplication of the auto. The truck now has a lot of power. Sounds more like a horse and a whole can of Viagra :rofl: The bus I towed I used 1st gear for extra high torque and low speed in order to avoid killing the chassis or exploding the rear axle especially when take off . Did I make tranny killing machine ? I'm planning to tear down the manual, What/where to look/check in order to determine the cause?
  13. He heh he he heh eh thnx for the photo, Now the song became videoclip.
