Thanks Billie,

Also where can I get an air filter assembly for it?

Gday Guys, I,m in the process of installing a weber 30/30 dic carb. I have got the car running and in the process of making up brackets/throttle cable links. So far so good except the idle is way to high(1800-2000rpm) I have got the idle screw backed fully out to where the throttle doesnt even touch...

Thats the one im talkin bout

If your running the original f5a engine then it should be fine. If you have the f8b and the engine sits closer to the front at the drivers side then chances are they used the f8b engine(hatch) cradle instead of the f5a cradle. The engine should sit approx the same distance to the front of the engine...

use the ones as I detailed in the previous page.The reason my rear one failed was due to the the wrong engine bracket f8b vs f5a is 30mm more forward. Since my engine rebuild I have fitted the f5a engine cradle for my f8b engine and all is good

Gday mate, plenty of info on it. just use the search function. I myself have done it and have written about it as have others.

I dont remember any ball bearing in the top of the carby I thought the problem might be in the idle circuit as theres no smell of excess fuel or obvious flooding Thanks for your suggestion

Could be multiple things. Best way is to take it to a carby specialist.

Jeez thanks Billie, Thats an easy fix Well when you set up the full bolt in efi for an F8b I will buy it off you...
In the meantime I will maybe look at getting a carby specialist

I dont want to start a new topic but I have some questions re the carby. Last night I was in a situation where I had to keep the car running for an extended period of time at low speed running and idle. over 20mins at normal operating temperature just idling. The engine didnt overheat as the electro...

Many thanks Tez, I will ask my Mechanic what head gasket he used.
Cheers

Thanks Brayden, Is it neccesary to re torque the head. I wasn't told about this?

All seems great with the rebuild. Ive never had a totally reconditioned engine before.
as the motor "beds" in can you feel a power increase or changes in engine idle speed etc?
What do you notice and in approximatley how many kms of driving?
Thanks

Thanks guys that makes sense

Im a little confused. I just recieved my fuel pump gasket. Its about 1mm thick paper type. The original is around 6mm thick and plastic.
Whats the go?

I have my motor back ready to install. While it was apart I got a new clutch and got the flywheel machined. 1mm oversize pistons(819cc)crank 10 10th machined, new crank and rod bearings,oil pump,gaskets etc, timing belt kit, head and block machined just for trueness. I will be aiming to have gearbox...
