yeh its not the quietest :( starnge it used to be ok. Ill have to strip down the top end and see what the hell is going on at some point soon

Lower than the first one, an prob has at least .5 space cold
The rest are pretty good. It just seems to have worn down a lot compared to the others. i havent managed to take the head off but I suspect theres an uprated cam in it also....

Hey ddgonzal, thanks for the info.Good memory, yeh its a l-b122. but whoever had it in japan before me has given it an electronic ignition. In regards to setting the valves. cylinder 1 and 4 i cant adjust anymore without not being able to put the locking nut back on. the pushrods seemed fine though?!?

thanks

andy

Hi guys,
Need some help here. So I was going to do a tappet adjustment, done this before but I have come into a problem that Im not sure what my tdc is set to. I had my engine timing and carbs tuned a while back and I forgot to write down what they had adjusted it to. Any tips to find out?
Also i have noticed I dont have any more adjustment on one of the one of cylinder 1(or not enough to allow me to put the lock nut back on) I checked the pushrods and they all seem fine and the same length, so whats going on?

Thanks in advance

Andy

ah i see, awesome good to know thanks

Here it is, also on the 12pin plug what is number 7 for? its yellow and green

Ah that relay is for the auto choke, I did wonder what it was for. Ill try disconnecting it and seeing what happens.
Im going to go through the rest of the wiring to get rid of bodge jobs and possible fire hazards. Ill try and post some picks for you guys to see lol

Thanks again dd

Ok guys so i decided to search out the reason for my brake light earth fault(it stays faintly on all the time, even when handbrake is off). In doing so I have opened a can of worms to say the least. The main wiring loom in the dash has been hijacked all over the place with wires not leading to anything?!?! anyway, being my b122 is a jap import and had auto choke standard, I got it with mikuni carbs though, is the wiring connected and causing an earth fault since i dont have auto choke aymore?? I was reading tons of the wiring wikis and im still lost. This is what is making me think this: http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm ... ightings/forum/BE-46A.jpg

Thanks for the help in advance.

Yeh everything was fine, i think maybe the u bolts were maybe loose on one side but because they were seized i thought they were tight till i had taken them off and clean them up.

Dont realy know what it was, both bushes and shocks are fine. I just took the axle off and made sure everything was nice and straight then clamped it all down again, changed the diff oil 2. Anyway fixed for now. :D
