efi conversion
Ive put on the sierra crank pulley and this is how the teeth line up against the cps sensor, good enough? or does the teeth have to be spot in the middle of the cps sensor to read it?
https://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c...06-06_1412.jpg throttle cable bracket, mine hits the lower part of the mainifold, is it on the right wasy round? or shall i cut the bracket? https://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c...06-06_1416.jpg |
As long as the cps is near enough central it will be fine, they are very wide teeth on that pulley after all.
Which part of the bracket hits? :? I presume you do know the bottom lug is meant to go over the thread before the nuts holding the manifold on are tightened to the head? |

oooooooohhhhhh, now i get you. There are 2 types of throttle bracket, i believe the later ones mount from the top and side so that will sole your problem :top:
Be better than cutting yours IMO ;) |

Indeed there is, the later ones are less interfering with the injectors etc aswell, get the bracket do it properly ;)
That said.....yours should still still fit behind the nut, it shifts the whole manifold back :? Unless there isn't enough thread..... |

The last thing you want is the throttle bracket moving and jamming fully open......... ;)

its got 2 other bolts holding it, sure be ok untill i get another 1 :top: i hope :cry:

how can i get the crank pulley tight? wana tighten it up, ive put it in gear but the engine still turns over when i try to tighten it
|
The way i usually do it, is put the car in gear with the handbrake yanked up, the engine will turn over a little until all the gears in the box mesh up tight etc, but thats the way.
Not a lot of space to get a ratchet in there is there :roll: |

So you are using the cam belt to hold the crank while yanking on a spanner. Nice one :clap: Good advise.. Or you could lock the flywheel up from the starter motor hole. :roll: |
Jano,
He asked about tightening the crank pulley mate, not the cam pulley. |

So you are using the cam belt to hold the crank while yanking on a spanner. If the engine is in gear, with the head on... Then trying to tighten pulley bolt will turn engine just a little before it locks up. If on the off chance the cam has stopped in the wrong position you could damage the valve. However small the chances are. There is still a chance which i wouldnt want to take, either on my own engine or customers. HTH Regards Jano |
So now you are talking about the bottom end spinning over and hitting a valve because there is no cam belt on..... :?
|
At the end of the day its as simple as this.
Bottom bolt is done up while locked by flywheel. |
Once again you have avoided the question :roll:
Yes locking the flywheel is one way of doing it |

Yes locking the flywheel is one way of doing it I am offering advise that is 100% without fail or chances of failing! Locking the flywheel (Via teeth) or crank (Via flywheel bolts) is the only way the bottom pulley bolt should be done up. Not while the car is in gear, or any other way. |
Lads, he asked how to tighten the bolt holding on the CRANK PULLEY. The timing belt is driven by the TIMING GEAR, not the CRANK PULLEY. A locked crank is a locked crank, however you do it.
