New Cambelt And Vavle Stem Oil Seals

[credowan 15 1 Cars]

Hi boys and girls,

 

I have done a search and read through the posts so sorry if i have mist something

 

Just fitted a new cambelt and valve stem oil seals on my 1.6 i did the stems without removing the head i put everything back timed up etc with the dowels placed in the timing holes and rotated as the haynes manual says and it starts and will run but is missing and wont idle at all, i think you can be 180 degrees out so could be this but will try this asap

 

Ive tried advancing and retarding the dizzy but this does`nt seem to change any of the running rough syptoms

 

 

thanks for viewing and for any ideas or advice in advance

If you had both timing dowels in you can't be 180' out imo.

 

Maybe oil has seeped past the valve & is making it run rough until this burns away.

 

You have got the right cambelt for it haven't you? Later ones have fewer teeth iirc.

Is it not the other way round? spring tensioner (pre 92?) have 113 teeth and later eccentric tensioner have 114.

 

If not I may have the wrong belt sitting in my bedroom

Quite possibly, I know they are different by one tooth anyway.

Cheers guys,

 

i did check the belt against other belt that came off and all seemed the same both dowels fitted ok and lined up all seems well just will not idle at all, ill have to check through everything again although ive checked a couple of times but guess ive missed something,

 

Any more ideas welcome as i am stumped at the moment

thanks again

Gary

Did you change the manifold<->head gasket? Did you use the right one? i.e. not the one that blocks off the injectors!

 

Caught me out, big time, with the same symptoms

are the shims properly back in place in the right order from doing the stem seals? Have you checked the timing holes still line up?

Air leak on inlet maifold sounds favorite. Did you bolt the oil filler back to inlet manifold? If not air will leak into manifold. Caught me once thats all
