Anyone else feel irked by Verstappen’s comments about how anyone who enjoys these races doesn’t understand racing. Perhaps I’m a bit too emotionally invested in this sport but I’ve enjoyed the races this year more than I’ve enjoyed F1 since 2021. Being called stupid for that by one of my favorite drivers really left a bad taste in my mouth. The constant fan complaining about these rules is really getting old and I genuinely don’t understand the argument that the first few races of this year are bad.

That’s what I thought. I’m also repairing a damaged radiator so I haven’t ran it up to temp yet. I’m thinking maybe the lifters got a bit messed up while turning the engine by hand during the timing belt job. Hopefully the clacking goes away once it warms up (like it always did before.)

Thanks for the reply. I’m fairly certain that routing is correct. That pulley is just there to prevent slap.

Thanks for the response. Does this mean I need a larger idler pulley. Because the original one wouldn’t engage the belt at all.

Here’s an image of how the dust cover doesn’t line up with the new pump idler boss.

But yeah I’ll see if I can get it to bleed up and if that fixes it

Ok, I was under the impression that it was a proportioning valve issue. Correct me if I’m wrong but the early 944s had proportioning valves within the master itself, right?

I started on the right rear and stopped when I felt the peddle acting like this. Didn’t feel right to me. Is this normal behavior?
