Curiously ive got a right hand drive uk car in Catalunya,Spain ...the right side zero rot ....the kerb side needs some repairs....very thoughtful of Uk councils going nuts with salt...😂
Hi, I just bought the supergoose reissue complete bike and I want to switch the frame and forks out with a 1983 pro class. Does you know if that’s possible?
@@mertcan. It was a J4 that ended up with direct to head itbs, catcams 708's and DTAVstand alone management. It made 159bhp on the Dyno. I think I know what the set up was on my own car 🤣🤣🤣
This project will be pure driving thrills. I live in my van and on the same street a young lad lives in a 205 GTI 1.9 he sleeps in it and it’s very good condition.
@@stewills9711 You know the score then....lol! I believe a lot of the ones that go wrong are down to cheaper head bolts and not cleaning/lubricating them properly. Everything crossed when the time comes for me 😂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Cometic head gaskets are known to delaminate If used for more than a year They are meant to be used in race engines that are rebuilt at least once a year I know several people that have had issues of them loosing water or loosing compression
@@DRMotorsport1976 may not be delamination could be just they get weak and the seals go A friend of mine runs a 205 GTi in hillclimbing and had a issue where every now and again it threw some water out of the header tank but didn't over heat but then could be fine after it had done it for the rest of the day this continued on and off at most evens he did over the following winter stripped the engine to find no visible issues after changing the head gasket and putting back together the issue never happened again , sounds similar to your issue
It's definitely down to a failed injector mate. They were second hand when they were fitted onto the Jenveys. I should have had them checked when I rebuilt the car 🫣😬👎🏻
@DRMotorsport1976 I was think about the cylinder with low compression. It is not piston or head gasket then it must be leaking somewhere in the head, no?
@@johngregory5280 It had been stood for a week, it could have been down to a lifter. The head will be getting pressure tested before any work is carried out on it 🙂👍🏻
I have used Injectortune a couple of times previously, what I liked is that they send you a before and after cleaning fuel flow chart. They come back with new seals ready to fit. Definately worth a look.
Nothing worse mate there's a lad in Llanfairfechan runs slideways motor sport Anthony Jones try him sure he could help you , he dose a lot with rally cars an rebuilding engines
Mine is smoking on tik over time to spend I think , spray it first then think about the engine next winter try go to a few shows with it this year an do a few rallys , hope you get yours back up an running mate
@@DRMotorsport1976 bugger, what do you think is the likely cause, from memory many years ago I think you could a wet test to prove the ring is that still relevant with modern engines, I'm guessing the least worst is a bugged valve is that correct?

@@DRMotorsport1976 I want this car so please fix it haha. Seriously, its a pain in the arse but there's nothing quite like it. An absolutely amazing car.
Great engine , I have a similar engine in my 1007 , it is a superb engine in operation, capable of driving calmly and quietly but like a wolf in sheep's clothing , has a strong Rorty powerful character when pushed. One of Peugeot's best efforts.
