Guest Terry S Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 as long as its not running 272 cams as i believe thats the point where it becomes interference Engine still ok on HKS 272 if stock compression and deck height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightning Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 So we have the cams (Mark) we just need the belt. Now where can I get a PE cam belt from ? Brakes were the next mod, going to see what change I have left after repairs. Afterall I have just spent £1200 on a BL exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightning Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 The cams were worn but not sharp and the belt has been shredded so that half remains intact and on the cams. Take a look at the piccie at the start of this thread to see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 So that's where Terry's purple throbbing monster ended up! Hope the damage isn't any worse than you suspect - doesn't sound like it though! Awesome Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitelightning Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 Right Gaz has PE belt, RBF fluid, DBA brake discs for me. Terry, did we have a supplier for the carbotech pads ? If not Gaz recommends the endless pads. So might be able to get all this stuff up to Mark for early next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitelightning Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 I am not convinced the cam pulleys caused the cam belt to strip off 50% AND stay on the cam pulleys. I think something caught or impeded the belt somewhere, which will be checked by Mark on Monday. But thanks all for the advice and supplies . . . just waiting on Gaz to add it all up and send the bill to me so we can get the parts to Mark Busy day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanK Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Sorry to hear this Ian but as everyone else says, im sure it'll be fine. When she's running right im sure it'll be one of (if not the) fastest supra on here. Good luck mate, and fingers crossed for Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Ian ... Hope you get everything sorted! Coz at the next meet ... I want a passenger blast in your motor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightning Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 Cheers Ian & Clarkey. I took the liberty of ordering better brakes. You are right, we were smoking the pads at Bovingdon. Envy supply DBA discs (so goto them if you need them ) Thanks to Gareth for sourcing and supplying. Thanks to Migster who said he would have a look at the car for me to see where the power has gone. He has a good idea about the valves. I have arranged with Terry to get another head gasket so Migster can ferret around inside with a big hammer. Also, thanks to Terry for his advice and sourcing of the other mods and parts. Secretly I think he just wants to see CJ get whipped but there maybe some curiosity to see what a BL74 does with a BL 4" in scientific terms Ok, I am afraid noone gets any Xmas presents this year - Im all out of money (AND SOME !) Im off to see the bank manager to ensure I can pay Mark for putting much of this on the car. If I have to sell my soul to the bank manager I might as well kick the arse out of it, eh ?!

JohnK Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Ian, sorry to hear about your misfortune, still thankfully it looks like it isnt going to cost a fortune. At this rate maybe both our cars will be back on the road at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Ian, Hope its all running again soon! and Mark gives you good news on Monday.. By the way I would like to be the first to say I have warped my DBA Gold's What should I do? Can I return them to TDI ? The heat range strips on the discs show that I have not run them hot at all... Another £300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Ian ... Hope you get everything sorted! Coz at the next meet ... I want a passenger blast in your motor!
