RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - cully - 31-08-2015
on it like sonic!
need to slacken the verniers to get them it right too....
at least I don't need the bottom pulley off this time
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - Niall - 31-08-2015
Assuming that you run the belt on from the crank pulley anti clockwise, i find its always best to slacken the cam pullies, turn them as far clockwise as possible and then fit the belt. That way you don't end up with a tight or slack patch in between the cam pullies which a surprising amount of people manage to do!
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - cully - 31-08-2015
yes i did that when fitting the belt
its a case of now pinning it all clamping the pulleys,
slackening the verniers,
slackening the belt,
re tension to 90 degrees then, 21Nm
re bolting the verniers, 40Nm
un pinning,
rotate 4-6 times,
re pin to re check,
remove pins n tools and Vrmmmm to check
stop
refit covers

5min job
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - cully - 31-08-2015
clamps and pins being put to good use

all done sounds a lot better
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - Jonny81191 - 31-08-2015
That's more like it, sounds sweet
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - Piggy - 31-08-2015
Yeah thats better
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - welshpug - 31-08-2015
what's the wooden thing for? that stops the pulleys from being able to move as intended, only need the pins.
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - cully - 31-08-2015
use the wooden block to clamp the pulleys so i can torque up the verniers without stressing the pins
copy of the peugeot tool for the job
tool is not used when setting the belt tension only undoing/doing up the cam pulley centre bolts
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - Eeyore - 31-08-2015
well done. good to see progress has been made!
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - Matt - 31-08-2015
Good job on getting it sorted mate
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - cully - 01-09-2015
been out with the car most of the day 80 miles down
I'm still smiling like a goodun
the car is very lively and I'm not using all the revs yet
the lightened flywheel is taking some getting used to but im getting there
the clutch is so light for a 306 its unreal It was a good investment new fork bushes and clutch cable
cant wait to go out in her again
need to look at the exhaust as I think its a little lower than before as I seem to be scraping the centre box every now and then
other than that I'm well Happy
time for a cider
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - Piggy - 01-09-2015
Ace! Happy days!!
Think you should pull a sicky and come to action day!!

Love that moment when you realise just why you put chronic hours into loving an inanimate object. Glad to hear the love is flowing strong!
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - cully - 03-09-2015
well last night i went out and hit a Speed bump Not fast I must add
it was a rubber mat type made up with rubber squares one of the edges was raised
which caught my exhaust which instantly made the car louder........Bugger!
today car has been on the ramp inspected
and ive cracked the exhaust in 3 places Hmmm

anyway they have all been welded up with triangle reinforcing slide plates welded on too

have also replaced the centre hanger rubber which has raised the pipework up by about 25mm
so should be good for a while now
i also need to get a new oil modine seal as it seem to be leaking a little against the block but that can wait till i change the oil
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - cully - 05-09-2015
Im enjoying the car again
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - Dum-Dum - 06-09-2015
What a beauty
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - cully - 06-09-2015
250 miles in now and I'm beginning to open up the taps a little
up till now Ive been limiting my self to 4.5k and that is lively enough
but OMG it pulls like a bull above that and gets to high revs real quick
before you used to be able to sit on the motorway and cruse at a set speed easy, now it just wants to creap up and up
you really need to watch the MPH as it soon gets away from the speed limit
another 100 miles and i will flush the engine and put some good oil in it
still happy im driving this to work ATM just to put miles on it **GRINS**
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - Piggy - 06-09-2015
Happy happy times
You must be chuffed

understatement of the year!
building an engine from the bottom up, which is not my trade, then you get the nerves of if it will live when you turn the key.
i knew the time would come that id have to fit it, again all done on my drive by myself,
turned the key and it burst into life is an excellent fealing
i know ive had a few teething issues but ive over come those too
350miles in and my smile is still ear to ear
checked all the fluids, topped the oil, water was good, all the temps and pressures are good, so next Thursday or Friday on my days off, im planning on flushing the oil and fitting the oil cooler new filter and good oil
oh!
i have had an issue with a electronic oil pressure gauge i fitted the gauge readings would fluctuate with electrical loading ie; switch anything on the gauge would drop,
i tryed a few things to stop this but the one thing that did the most good was upgrading the chassis to gearbox and gearbox to battery earth cables
these were 10 +16mm i believe now they are both 35mm a lot of stuff works better
fuel pump sounds faster engine turns over better and the pressure gauge is a lot better
so it can only be a good thing
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - Piggy - 09-09-2015
Sounds great pal :-)
Well done! :-)
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - lolsteve - 11-09-2015
Good to hear its still running
Interesting about the earth cables, might look into that
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - cully - 11-09-2015
still Grinning!
400 miles done
car drives real nice and sounds so sweet !
i need to reset the ECU again as i think changing the earths has given it a strange idle, so i expect it didnt reset correctly and the idle control is confused
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - cully - 15-09-2015
550 miles clocked today thought it was time for a flush and new oil
so added the flush drove it round and up to temperature, came home and dropped the oil,
I've removed the filter and that is how its left,
I will let it drain over night, then
tommorow i will fit the new seal under the modine and fit the oil cooler take off plate with a new oil filter
before treating her to some castrol edge
it rained quite heavey last night and on the way home the driving got a little interesting checked the front tyres and they were close to the bars so had to order two new kumo 16" tyres today too
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - cully - 16-09-2015
fitted the cooler pipework filter and topped with oil
took it for a drive....
cant believe the difference the new oil has made over the cheap shit i had in there
oil pressure is a lot more stable with engine temperature with the fully synthetic oil
im getting good oil pressure all through the rev range at running temp
ive set my early warning oil light to come on when the engine is hot just below tick over which is about 20-25 PSI which should be ample warning of pending disaster stock oil pressure light is 5 PSI
i may adjust this again will see what/how it annoys me

Good to see your happy with it man. Always a good feeling building stuff yourself.
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - Piggy - 17-09-2015
Well done bud
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - Frosty - 18-09-2015
Good to hear its all going well mate. Nice to see another kumo tyres fan is about
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM Back on the road! - cully - 25-10-2015
well around 2000 miles on the new engine and it flys!
went to a car meet in Plymouth last night, met up with a group at Exeter services
for a convoy to Plymouth, which ended up as a race along the A38,
was suppose to meet frosty and James on route but ended up flying past them
as i was playing with Nissan skylines
after a while thought better of it so slowed and waited in a lay-by till frosty caught up
the car meet was one of the biggest ive been too police were blocking entrances to full carparks and directing people to other parks

Good to hear it goes well, a decent gain in power by the sounds of it then?
