Finally start disassembling my engine and it just looks awful. Lots of grime and burned oil and black stuffs.

I just wish I had a vapor blasting machine






The gearbox and intake side of the engine bay was full of old oil







The oil pump had silicone strings inside the pickup plate




Bolt :tsk::tsk:


Some oil starvation






Maybe this is why the car didnt pull right :!::!:

Love it, just clear coat it and leave with that awesome patina.

The car starts without a problem. The idle seems a bit erratic until it warms up but nothing you would notice when driving. The major problem is that under load i cant get the engine past 3000 or 3500 rpm, with half or full throttle.

yesterday i turned the wheel spring on the afm to make it more leaner and the sparks look much better, without fuel residue, and it seems to have just a little bit more power

There are some good write-ups about setting the AFM properly. I'd look into those. Are you having to crank your car for a long time to get it to start or something? I'm surprised you'd be covered in fuel.

Some more things done... ;D;D

Since i got the car the engine as low power under load, especially around 3000+ rpm, I thought it as the rotor and sparkplugs but recently i took the AFM out and besides being worn out its from a peugeot/citroen car.

Also the spark plugs when I take them out are flooded with gasoline. I think the AFM is sending a "rich" signal. Its possible to calibrate this AFM for my engine?Rotating the spring in the AFM to make it leaner or do I need a M10 AFM?

A few more things...















almost there...

[fpimenta]

Just a few more things i have been doing to the car
