I'll try this setup first. What should I look/hear for if something isn't ideal? Another thing - when I took the sump off there were huh "moon"-shaped (C-shaped is better lol) gaskets on both sides. These stay there and you just put the sealant around when you refit the sump? And another...

#5 - the 0,2mm only just squeezes in with a little force. It's very tight. The 0,15mm feeler is fairly loose. You can slide it in and out as you please. In the middle when you pull it out you can feel a small drag on the feeler - the rest is like pushing a hot knife through butter :p

Ok thanks - just needed someone to confirm this :p Another thing - I screwed the cam today in the 3 stages you posted. But it seems a little "soft" (can't remember the right word) 11Nm hummm.... Let's go on :grinning: So I tightened the cam and turned the engine by hand. No piston to...

Thx. Already order the sealent for the sump - thought it was a gasket. And the gasket for the valve cover - that's a bit price thou. Wednesday everything should be hear so I can start rebuilding the damn thing. And again....another question lol 1.As a put the cam etc. I see that the...

It's me again....lol :p Today I'll order a new sump gasket so when I get it I can work again on my micra. So now I have to wait till I get it :glare: Another thing that I wanted to ask - with how much torque do I have to tighten the bolts which hold the cam in place hmm.... These (not a...

Top shim hmmm....when I lifted the buckets there were no other shims than the one I added. Or is the top shim "stuck" in the bucket... Hmmm....just looked at my pics and the stock shim seems to be well held in place so if I have to change it I would have to force it out. But we'll see this...

If I understand it right you mean something like this :p So the gap should be 0,5mm right? With snug you mean tight? And another thing - if it's not 0,5mm how to correct it? Grind the added shim off? :o

Didn't do much today. Got myself the magnet and fished the bolt out. The rest of the day I was gone.... So first I have to put the engine back together the way it was before the "accident" lol Then I'll check the timing. I have max 0,3mm feeler. I'll try to get 0,5mm this week and...

The bolt is out (Y) only had to brake down part of the engine - as I saw hmmm I avoided 2/3 of work with my lucky hand and a magnet :p First I tried to get the bolt out at the bottom - but the damned bolt wouldn't move. So I positioned it so that the head faced up and got it out (Y) Today...

The sump is down as is the exhaust and the hmmm gearbox "holder". The engine is jacked up a bit - I can see the bolt right behind the main chain sprocket. Hope to get it out another way then to break the engine even more apart...

With the socket for the pulley bolt you mean the main pulley that has tha large bolt? I can't see the damn bolt arghhh will try to get it out with a magnet first and the search the sump - if it's not there then a lot of work is waiting for me....

Still alive and kicking.... The bolt is deep down and there is no chance of getting it out. Stopped the work for today but will carry on tommorow. So here are again some questions 1. The engine "holder" (can't remeber the right word now - tooooooo angry) - does it have to go off...

Fitted the sprocket finally. Didn't see that the back end of the sprocket is - we say "konus" shapped (can't remeber the English word) - so when I put on the sprocket to tighted it the last 0,1-0,2mm snapped on and it's the way it should be. But my life really is pain. I did that one thing...

I get the chain hmm when I put it on both sprockets (the exhaust is fixed to the cam) and try to put the inlet sprocket on the cam I almost get it on. The inlet sprocket won't fit - it's like 0,2mm going wrong so I can't fit it arghh

Removed the tensioner first thing.....still can't bring the chain on. If I put the sockets on first I can't get the chain on the second socket. If I put the chain on the sockets and then try to put the inlet socket on I still can't do it arghh

Changed the cam or better to say the cam is in. But I ran into a problem cause I couldn't fix the sprocket of the cam back after removing the inlet cam cause the chain was to tensioned...then I removed the plastic thinky to hold the sprocket to the chain - eeeee wrong :doh: So now I put the...

With feeler gauge (yes...I know...newbie question lol) do you mean this? Which "blade" should it be (clearance I presume) ?

How do I check the clearances? How many shims must I add so that it's the way it's suppose to be?

Just got the reprofiled inlet cam from Autosprint. Many thanks to frank for putting up with my nagging and finding an 1.3 inlet cam so Geoff could reprofile it (Y) Here is my precious :p As a newbie to these things I wonder if anyone could give me some advice how to change it and what to...

Hello (Y) I am about to tune up my micra and I need to know how is the ECU acessible ,( ODB ..... ) How can the mapping be done - exchange of EPROM or flashing? Does someone have the definition files for tuner pro or some simmilar tuning program? Is there a base map done. And if...
