aaah,but the question is,were the locking nuts locked up from your last adjustment? I thought I was the only scatterbrain

:evil: Due to my lockup going to be demolished,I'm having to sell my Capri. I've only just bought it last year. It has an MOT until January 2021. £3700 OVNO. When I had bought it,and driven back home,the radiator burst open. So it now has a new radiator. With it being an automatic,the OE rad was a t...

Use a pipe flaring tool. Or,leave the accumulator off,it's just a fuel dampener. Not exactly. It does indeed dampen out fluctuations caused by the pump. It's other function is to maintain pressure in the fuel system when the engine stops. Without this, the pressure dissipates, meaning it is very di...

I've just bought £102,88 quid for the crank and cam pulley,and 22 quid for import duties. I'm also in the process of checking my camshaft lift,a possibility the drive train could be worn,but have measured the cam lobes and they are near the specified measurements,and the lifters/tappets

Thankyou gents. Yes,I am aiming for a couple of mm's of extra lift. Correct Stroker,adding the extra metal to the tip won't assist in my intentions,I can see that now,because of the 0.35/0.40mm clearance. Stroker,I did see your method in full on Capripower. I couldn't see the difference,but see it n...

Hello everyone. I'm in the e process of rebuilding my eichberg turbo cologne and was wondering if anyone has modified the rocker arm tip by adding a millimetre or two of whatever metal it is, probably cast iron?
Thanks
Paul

My parcel was already nackered, it's now split in to two pieces

Good result!!! So what was the bhp before 130? Are you using side draughts?

Late cars don't survive after being in flood water. Classic cars minus ecu's tend to survive after fresh oil

I remind people that car manufacturing has a big carbon footprint, probably a bit more for electric cars. Anyone who changes their car every few years or scraps a vehicle just because its got a couple of dents or a bit or rust they cant be arsed to sort out is causing much more global warming than ...

Probably all made in the same factory and just get branded. Make sure there are extra bushes. I think mine is a silverline

Thanks Steve. I've got myself a Capri Microfiche aswell

@Calovera,have you installed it yet? I did the accuspark on my Cortina,can't fault it

Hi Paul, Hey thanks for the pictures of your Capri Cabaret fella. Looks fantastic mate and yep you don't see many of these about nowadays. It looks in really nice condition too and lovely colour. Thanks for taking the time to show us...BUT it would be great to see some pictures of under the bonnet ...

the 1.6 pinto? I'm sure there's better. Although it's not bad for 72bhp compared to my 2 litre Cortina. The 1.6 does feel it on an incline.
