seank90, Back to cleaning

Re: seank90, 1990, 2ltr gt st162 IT LIVES!!!

yup, i know that, i ran it clean with petrol, the strange thing is engine oil came out of it??? dunno how or why... but it was seriously thin, i was cleaning my own out getting 20 year of muck out with petrol and when i did it started leaking, so i had to get a new one! but it works great!

 

Re: seank90, 1990, 2ltr working as should be!

ya i know, its not getting any better for us either....



UPDATE: just been to get the car tracked and aligned, turns out i need to get a tie rod. its pretty knackered... lot of play in the wheel, also, it aint my driveshaft thats gone, just my carrier bearing, going to order one of those today just to have it new, its bouncing up and down causing a humming noise and a slight bang while driving. good to know the problem anyway!

 

Re: seank90, 1990, 2ltr working as should be!

ya steve, im actually thrilled with it, the more i drive it the more i want to drive it, i can finally see what all the fuss about these celica's is about...

horrific??? thats not the beginning, we do have a NCT, (national car test) i have 4 year trainingh as a mechanic done but it was mostly fitting work. would have loved to work deeper into the engine jobs but i was doing mostly full engine changes, bushings, mounts, suspension etc, will be trying my hand at spraying soon, ive my lovely mazda lined up as the donor car for respray so i hope i get the nack of it, would be handy.

Sure if you ever want a holiday i can book you in, got loads of room! haha! :thumbsup: if ya ever decide to come to the emerald isle, look me up...

i think my carrier bearing is shot completely. driveshaft bangs going slow and hums when the pace is picked up....

engine next for sure. i will save up and get a full tune with standalone. been taking to a company from teh north and they say that piper will do them a special set of cams for the motor and they will fit and tune 2 maps into the hydra nemesis 2 ecu (eco and power) for €1600 all in. pretty good price i thought?

 

Re: seank90, 1990, 2ltr seized calipers again?

yup, i was thinking about the short side, all the shafts from the st162,82,02 are the same, thats why we can swap and interchange in between boxes, the box i have is a long ratio box (basically i can do 100kmph doing 2500rpm) carrier side of the diff hardly goes because there is virtually no weight on the diff from that side leaving all the weight of the short shaft supported by the bearing, looks like the shim can be replaced without taking the box apart, thats what the cover is for, so if the shim can be replaced does this stop up and down play in the diff? if so its a cheap and easy fix, it would probably tighten up the bearing also and give it a longer life span if its well worn, considering its a 20yr old box..... what do you think?

 

Re: seank90, 1990, 2ltr seized calipers again?

i wasnt talking about the window, i was talking about the LH side bearing retainer, its the same differential. but the bolt on for 4wd is different to the S53 box, stig, the shims which go onto the box can be got in different legnths, would it make a difference to how tight the bearing is if i got a new shim? now that im looking at it more im beginning to think its quiet an easy fix? :roll: ( nothings easy when it comes to gearboxes i know) if the shim was thicker the outer race would be that little bit tighter around the tapered bearing tightening the whole diff up. which will compensate for the play in the bearing because it is a tapered bearing and will wear over time compared to a normal sealed ball unit.... but the wear will be on the outer race as opposed to bearing itself because of the taper... ?

i might get a thickness on the outer shim and go a bit thicker....

Re: seank90, 3sge st162. update.rebuilt second driveshaft

i did the inner joint by replacing the full inners from the old drivers (right) to the passengers. it did quieten it down alot and i think im going to go to a mate who breaks MR2's and grab an inner off him, should fit, i know he ahas a few celica ones hanging around there was a small pitted are were the bearings were so i think that and the C clip is the problem, ill change the gear oil aswell and make sure alls good. will do this on monday and report back! :thumbsup:
