Anyway yes been having problems for a while now just can't get my 2.8 to run properly for any length of time been at it today and changed wur that I thought was causing the problem but changed it for br...

Hi just wondering if anybody has stripped the fuel metering head and fitted the kit from eBay and had any success ?? I've bought a kit and plan to strip down refurbish it. Any tips of knowledge would be much appreciated

Warm up regulator !! sits at the front of the 2.8 acts like a choke for fuel injection. I thought mine was working perfect as it start with a higher rev and calms down after a minute or 2 just like a choke but apparently it is possible mine doing that but not turning off hence flooding the engine bu...

Now this has me thinking ?? How did you hit wire the wur ? Having a nightmare with mine and I have been blaming the my metering unit. I have a spare wur that I bought 2nd hand but car wouldn't start with it on. Do you think my mixture could be out hence it not starting with it changed over ?

Hello again guys. Today I am wondering if anybody thinks that a battery not giving out enough amps could cause a 2.8 not to run properly ?? Problem is when my car was in garage it come back with a much smaller battery. The car in question drove for about 200 mile ok but has since developed a Miss li...

Hi I was adjusting exhaust valves to 40mm exhaust and 35mm inlet. I did it according to manual rocking 1 adjust 5 rocking 2 adjust 6 but when I tried to get the rotor arm to point to cylinder 1 I started messing about with things I shouldn't i.e the dizzy and now I'm just going to adjust it all up p...

Owe well that would explain why it was pointing to bulkhead lol I thought it was supposed to point to number 1 cylinder. Awe well back to it it tomorrow get it built back up. I have changed leads spark plugs coil dura spark box distributor cap rotar arm.

Ye I have had it round a good few times 1 full turn on camshaft pulley points the rotar arm to the bulkhead and another 360 points it to cylinder no 4. I'm probably missing something simple but the car was running good but only for 200 mile then it developed a terrible miss once it has been running ...

Hi guys well that's the valves done Cheers for help wish I had known about spark plugs as it was definitely making some compression when turning by hand but all worked out and they weren't as bad as I was expecting to be honest. Now the isssue I have is when I line up timming mark to 0 my rotor arm ...

Hi guys I have a capri2.8 and today I tackled the job of exhaust valves and done this without to much hassle however when I line up the timming mark to 0 my rotor arm points to cylinder 4 and not 1. Can anybody advice me how to get this pointing to cylinder number 1 ?? Any help would be much appreci...

Ok so the pully with both belts attached ?? Socket onto the middle of it and turn clockwise ? That should be easier than taking fan off.

Sorry for being thick but the crankshaft pully nut is ??

Hi guys stupid question but I am finally braving it and going to try do my exhaust valves on my 2.8 capri. I have today stripped out radiator and header tank and can now get the rocker covers off. Question is and it is a silly 1 but is it possible to turn engine over with the fan still in place and ...

This was the advert from 1 I had been looking at and you get primer paint and clear coat all with the same technology. Don't no if they will do my colour as it's still to cold up here in Scotland for painting outdoors !!

Ye that's it is !! They are special cans and u twist the a key in the bottom and it realises the hardner into the paint can and you shake can for 2 min and your ready to go. They only last day or so before they go off once you have mixed them

Thanks guys. I have never used spray cans but I have been watching a few YouTube videos and yes looks a case of prep it properly and it should come up ok hopefully ha ha. I come across this 2k stuff and thought that looks the business and wondered if anybody had any experience with it. What I have r...
