If you just ring autovaux or the dealer quote your reg number they should find the right parts for you mate

This is true and being 47 its a last time effort lol



Some New bits that came in the post.....Genuine GM rear flexi hoses two for a tenner.....and sub fame bolts...thank you Stephen Davies for the bolts.

Hi all....got my "serious head on" the other day.....Turned my attention to the Crank/no start on my C20ne.......took off the crank pulley to check the timing.....

Top TDC with tippex on the timing mark not by me(belt was changed 10k ago)



Timing mark on the crank sprocket



Now it all needs a clean to confirm.....but it looks like the belt has slipped.

[sealeysonic]

Gave the area a clean today....



Im still sure the timing marks dont line up.....but all i have to go by is the tippex on the crank sprocket...there dont seem to be a real mark like on the crank pully.

Back of the pully





The rear timing cover has seen better days tbh




The question remains......if i take it all off(which needs to be done anyway)...reset the timing...will it be ok...?

Thanks all

[sealeysonic]

Sorry ive not been on here for such a long time....plant of "stuff going on" as per useual.....bit of an update then.....kinda getting there of the underseal.......







Set about the rear brakes.....gave the caliper a shot blast at work....came up ok....let the shoes in as im raplaceing them.









Got this bugger out too...



bit of a paint....



Now for the back plate.......and we all know this is going to get messy lol



To my deight all the bolts came out fine...





a quick tap to get the bit to sit tight....







clean up time....










The slot where the Yoke goes through





Brace n Bracket.





Shot blasted at work...







Omaga pass side back plate...£25 off ebay...some of you know where im going with this...?







I had hoped to drill out the spot welds to so i can rotate the dust shield.....but the omega plate is not built that way...the Ring the shoes sit on is separate....





thinking time lol












So off to work.....and the Band saw......





Clean the edges up....



Silver bolts to hold it together while spot welding it









Now...while im at it.....time to try can re-produce a back plate to sell on to you lot lol off to the foundry to try a "bench mould" casting.



Not too bad...the plate part needs to be thicker to "run" better....also i knocked the mould out too early.





Worth a try......so I`ll keep at this idea.

Now as im so random when i go down the CallyCave ive started on the timing belt....as no matter how much i try the TDC`s dont line up....







Im hoping this is why i have a crank and no start issue lol

Got this TDC finder tool to play with....it goes in cylinder one and gives you a indication of tdc on compression stroke.





Off with the cam pully....to get to the thermostat housing...where my water leak is coming from....





As you can see there is a fair bit of crap and corrosion...so the leak might have been dripping for ages and just boiling away.

the thermostat housing......not in the best of condition.....there should be a seal here...there was no evidence of anything...no bits of rubber etc...



No2 in the top of this picture..



The rear timing cover shows more signs of leakage...and is brittle as egg shells



A shot blast at work...and good as new...almost.





Apart from what seems to be a crack.....



It goes up and around to the top bolt hole...





Now i have found a new one on ebay...but its £88 so plan B is to see if it can be fixed...so i pasted some Chemical Metal around the crack...sanded it back a bit and a bit of paint...just to see how that goes....





So this is where we are at....lots of random goings on.....lol

Looking good Mark, hopefully you have fixed the weep and can get the timing set up again!
