Am I right in thinking that our fuel pipe take a 1/4" hose? (I've got a slight gas leak from the filter hose which is split (and right above the exhaust downpipe!))

thanks

my old K8 with crappy compression always died as well, my new (40,000mile?) ZE dies as well - I agree with Ian it's too much air gets in to the intake manifold making air/fuel ration too lean therefore stalls.

yes it's your imagination - they are symmetrical about the centre bolt hole. Will you be doing the transmission mount and the upper engine mount as well - or just the other 2?

you'll just need to get your flywheel refaced as the Probe clutch is around 10mm bigger in diameter than the stock mx3.

count me in...

how many $$$'s do you think you can make them for?

or take out the starter jam a big screwdriver in the ring gear to lock the engine and then take off the pulley - not difficult!

The WTF looks like where I connected up the EGR pipe to - I was lucky when I fitted my KLZE as it had a plate over it - I still have the plate around somewhere if you are stuck for one - but if you check on your existing manifold you might have it. The 1 to 6 checks out from what I remember doing as...

Thanks Tom - that's why I am confused as there is no way that a KLZE can have a pressure of 580 psi which is what 40 bar is! The tag on my engine was computer generated and says "Iveka" and "75417 Muhlacker"?

When I fitted my KLZe a few months ago there was a label on one of the spark plug leads titled "compression value in bar". The numbers on the 6 cylinders are 39, 41, 42, 39, 40 and 41. I have no idea what these mean in PSI as I know that a KLZe in good condition should be around 200 psi. H...

should be fine

well it turned out it wasn't the pump but the bearing inside the tensioner wheel under the pump - so it was a really easy and cheap fix - luckily this time! I am amazed such a small bearing probably costing $3 could make so much horrible noise.

thanks for the offer but I already did the ZE thing 6 months ago - best mod. ever!

I got a quote from a mechanic to do the valve seals on my old K8 and he wanted $800 per bank! So it's cheaper to run the car until it fails Emmissions / Aircare or whatever and then put a replacement engine in.

I've got a metallic scratching type noise from my pump - any idea what the matter with it is? I've seen seal kits to rebuild pumps has anybody done this?
