I found out that magneton has a dealership in the States too:

Maybe it would be easier to get the starter locally.

Part number is 443 115 141 310

Original application is passenger car Skoda Felicia with 1.6 engine.

Let me know if they are not able to help!

So..today..rushed from my work to friends shop. car on the lift, engine removed, flywheel removed and..main seal dry as a desert. All galley plugs loctited, but the problem was the cam plug! Hopefully I had a spare "new style" rubber coated cam plug that I purchased by a mistake, so I removed the original metal cam plug and installed the rubber cam plug. No oil leaks after 50 miles.

My question is..my Daiken clutch disc got contaminated by oil. I did my best to degrease it, I used heavy duty killer industrial degreaser (tetrachlormethan). The clutch is slipping a little bit under heavy load. Can I hope that the remaining oil will "dry out" from the clutch disc after some time of light use? I only head a stock sprung disc in my parts stash and did not want to use it.. thanks,

I've Heard that the "Idiot Book" says to pour kerosene on your clutch and light it on fire. For how long, I'm not sure?

That leak fix was an interesting read for me...My 1776 has a pesky little leak that I've assumed was perhaps a dried-out main seal since the engine was out of the car and sitting on a garage floor for awhile.  I'm thinking it may be something similar to what you had going on, now that I'm looking at it.

hey my Daiken disc is already in the car and slipping happily when I step on the gas. I´ll limp through tomorrows meeting and will order new disc from the States...

dreadful cam plug:

[airstuff]

so those stock groove type plugs are not worth having in the block?

is this the billet type,with the rubber around which you have now?

[viNce]

Installed the same as it: http://www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=1370

[181]

I can not say the stock plug is worthless. Maybe it was the problem of the plug, or the engine case, but it had a lot of free play around and the sealer (hylomar) did not hold up. Maybe with some kind of hardening gasket it would be OK.

Plenty of them on Ebay Rob

beware, from the pic I would say this is a chinese copy! Very bad quality.

[181]

Just for pleasure I´m going to upgrade my CSP centerpush linkage with new floating ball joints.

It should 100% eliminate idle changes with warm engine. They are on the left on my pic.

This 181 may be for sale in following weeks As my heart is currently set on Porsche 912, I try to source as much funds as possible... also as I´m a project guy and the 181 is almost finished I´m on lookout for something another.. It´s just 8000 EUR in the engine itself..

sad to hear that

[181]

Hi Zvonimir, it is not sad as I´m moving to another beautiful aircooled car, and I´m moving forward. If thisthing doesn´t sell for reasonable money, I´ll keep it as it is a wonderful summer driver!

Jan

[volkskris]

why not keep the 2.3, and put that in a 912. should go well

My engine synced with carbtune after installation of new JKM floating linkage ball joints:

[181]

I have to say I really enjoy the car with new engine. It runs really great, it cools well, I enjoy tuning the carbs and ignition occasionaly and I really give my attention to the state of tune.

My trekker is a serious warrior now but I have to hold back and I try to not race everything I meet on the streets.

Now I consider taking it apart during winter and stepping up to 86mm crank + 86C cam because the need for power is huge. I´m taking it to chassis dyno soon as I believe it is already broken in after first 2000 miles.

I really recommend my CSP linkage mod with floating balljoints. Nothing like to stop after a quick ride and the engine fells back to nice 900 rpm idle and stays there.

Hello Jan, where can I find those JKM floating linkage ball joints? I have had same problems with idle when engine runs warm.

[181]

Hey I got them directly in Jan Kreyer´s store at : http://www.jkm-tuning.com/docs/start.htm

I did a first nervous pass in my life this weekend:-)

Weather wasn´t good, I managed to do 9.4 sec at 1/8th mile wet track on 205/65 radials and with stock 4.37 gearbox. I´m sure I had a very bad traction. What can I do apart from training? What tyre pressure do you recommend?

Thanks,

Jan

[Doktor]

@ 181

are you serious ?
You have totally stock gearbox and a 2276ccm engine, and gearbox is still holding up ? 

[181]

Yes, I´m going to make an upgrade as soon as it blows up..

[Carsten]

Original application is passenger car Skoda Felicia with 1.6 engine.
