Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Yes that’s what is consoling me as well. Like I said I’m not going to have a chance to get on with it until the weekend but I just popped out and took a pic of the adjusters Right hand bank are all pretty level But the left hand exhaust ones, not so much https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240528/f8e...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
I did but that was on number 3 IIRC
Had a family week-end so won't get onto it again until the coming weekend
Got a rennline adjuster tool on the way as well

Thanks Jason - That sounds like my symptoms but I have swapped out the plug on the cylinder that was cold

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Ok so when I did the tappets when the engine was out I was in a quandary about finding TDC. I’ve got the Z1 mark on my pulley so that’s fine it’s just that I can’t easily tell if it’s on the compression or exhaust stroke I don’t have a distributor any more so using the position of the rotor arm is a...

Thanks Tim. However they actually are new spark plugs. That soot is after two trips of about 5 miles.
Out of interest what hotter plugs did you switch to?

1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Thanks - they are both interesting thoughts and things that I can check on I think the HT leads are OK. They are perhaps 10 years old and seem to be good quality and in good condition. They are also producing spark to the spark tester I agree that if we’ve got fuel before the injector and spark in t...

1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Thanks - might leave that until tomorrow (though I’m getting better at removing the fuel rails now) I”m not sure it’s that whole bank - that wouldn’t explain why number 2 was 20 degrees cooler than 1 and 3 - to me that would be more of an indication that 2 isn’t firing but 1 and 3 are and the cooler...

So fuel then. I know there is fuel in the fuel rail (would t start otherwise) I removed the left hand fuel rail https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240525/5753eafabdd2bf2da5c67851f06d63bd.jpg Unlikely/impossible to be a block in these holes as they are so big, but I blew them through with an airline ...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
OK so then I connected an inline spark tester to make sure spark was getting through
https://youtu.be/f6xSVKkzPuM?si=59JXx3rPc2hOa9Aw
So it is producing spark to the plug
I suppose fuel is next
