Re: JZX100 Multiple Problems

Cheers.

I wasn't keen on the idea of using some random engine flush. Head will be removed, cleaned up and put back together with all new valve springs, retainers etc and also stem seals as those have been on their way out for ages.

Re: JZX100 Multiple Problems

Small update, quite a bit of wear on shims 9,10,11,12 on the intake side. Almost all of the gold coloured coating has worn off the top on these 4 compared to most of the others where there's a nice round dot in the center. There is also a shitload of carbon buildup in the oil galleries of the head, ...

Re: JZX100 Multiple Problems

Re: JZX100 Multiple Problems

Compression test from the front of the motor to the back showed: 160,165,170,170,170,160

Stretched Tyres

Anyone know which brand is best for stretching onto a wider rim? Currently got some 225/40/18 triangles on a 10J and there's bugger all traction. Also what is recommended pressure to run them at (I imagine its different to non stretched tyres, however not 100%).
