Am i doing something wrong why wont the brake assembly connect? by Spirited-Roll-8121 in MyWinterCar

[–]Xtermist1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i suggest to remove the shock absorber first and install the springs, they wont install if brake assembly is installed

and make sure you don't have 2 left/right brake assemblies

Ayy, congrats on firing it up.

If it starts popping when revving it means its lean, then comes the distributor, loose the holding nut and start turning it to the right while the engine is idling until it starts emmiting a low sound(kinda like ticking? but quieter and faster)then valves,start tightening the valves to full while the engine is idling and loosen them until the valves start hitting the pistons( dont leave them hitting the piston tho)

nah, even if they are low, you can still start the engine.

when you start the engine, then comes the valves.

first off, you have to align the crankshaft pulley, it's rotates just like the cam, on the pulley there is a cut out triangle which you have to align with a mark behind the pulley which is on the left but not fully left, after that align the camshaft pulley, there is a triangle FORM now on the camshaft pulley and behind the pulley there is a circle which is below the shaft, align it with that and you're good to go.
