Hi! Its transverse for sure...looks like Ritmo/Regatta all the way: Distributor on end of inlet cam, coolant hoses between cams, external thermostat, and upper radiator hose fits in Ritmo. 125TC My first guess would be a Ritmo 125 TC as it has slotted camwheels - while the 105 TC had solid if I reme...

Hi!

Just out of curiosity - did You end up using a Croma block?

Integrale is pull type as well if I remember correctly.

Hi!

For Your information the power loss from pumping the water around in 2 liter 124 is 6hp @ 6800 rpm. Discovered this during a dyno run when a frost plug decided to jump out. The power immidiately climbed by 6 hp;-)

This is very interesting - Please Guy?....

Head is now at GC for proper treatment.

Have seen too much of bad engine overhauls - not this time, not with this car.

Hi! Lesson learned here....seems the pressure plate didn`t handle the abuse. GC prepped flywheel still fine - but I will only use pure steel from now on. I will post some more pics when I get the time - looked like Hiroshima in there. Smoke from car is gear oil from smashed diff housing. Only damage...

Hi! I usually torque up these bolts `by hand`- have never experienced them "slipping" back - so I have no comment on this. Though: - In my experience - depending on gasket type and head/carrier mating face condition - slight use of some sort of sealant (silicone or other) usually sorts the...

Hi!


Just bought a 79` 127, and I am looking for camshaft data on these engines.

The series 1 is rated with 47 hp @ 6200, and the later series 2 with 42 or 45 hp @5600.

Anyone out there who knows if the camshaft is different between the 903cc models?


Best regards

Hi All! Got lucky this time - engine still in one piece, gearbox and differential seems ok when turning, but is not opened yet. Upgrade to steel flywheel and race clutch this time - an incident like this should not happen at all - at least not twice. Gearbox barely hangs on to engine by the bar goin...

Hi! Guy - I have read Your comments on Rishals thread....... Everyone is ok - condition of engine/gearbox unknown - will begin to strip down on wedensday. Steep learning curve for me - but loads of fun as well - GC head with the right setup deliver good power!!! Car now much more powerful than the l...

Never really thought of the importance of the clutch quality before - now I do. clutch failure net.jpg This clutch exploded at approx 9500 rpm (going to 3rd instead of 5th.....) and completely tore the bellhousing 360`, cutting cables, crushing the radiator, breaking parts off the gearbox casing and...

Hi Torkil! You never give up do You??! ;-) Wonderful! Someone out there sitting on this info? Hi Trying to map My DTA , And i end up with wery high ignition degrees without knocking ,as far as i can hear! using a AFR meter and skilled experience to map in uphill. Wonder anybody have some sample scre...

I have experienced lean conditions during transition on DHLA`s twice, and the problem was solved both times by fitting richer idle emuslion tubes (or maybe its called idle jet holders??). The idle jet holders are fixed and only come in one fitting I'm afraid for the DRLA. They all have 4 holes. DRL...

Only reasonable way is to beef up the idle jets. If you have possibility to have them within 0.01 increments, just increase one step at the time and find a compromise you are happy with. Hi! Good posting Tommi!! Just a quick input: I think You have a second option as well - if the air bleed on the ...
