    Replaced valley gasket and now running like bag of spanners

    Hi, Ive just replaced my valley gasket with a composite one as the tin one i installed previously started leaking coolant (some bolts which i had torqued correctly had come loose). When i start her now she sounds like a bag of spanners. The engine vibrates visibly and she hunts...

    Took off plenum and trumpet housing to find coolant on valley gasket :( Going to tighten up the manifold bolts ( hoping i can get to them without removing fuel rail) and hope that they just came loose. Otherwise...........................

    @ Reekie I just used a Haynes and some pages from inter web. It's not massively difficult. You just need to label EVERYTHING take photos every step of the way ( very useful ) and put everything you take off into little labeled ziplock bags. Oh yeah and when you get ****ed off just stop n go and...

    Misfire on V8 Gems with lpg

    Check timing? If loosing coolant hold hand at exhaust and check for moisture on hand. My RRC 92 had a buggered inlet manifold gasket, would not start when cold due to taking in air/coolant from it. Changed gasket and she stared 1st time. Dont use any fancy plugs, i spent a small fortune on...

    OBD Software for RRC

    But the dealers can plug the ecu into a computer to read codes so while is doesnt have a dedicated "OBD" it has the ecu which stores codes which can be read. I wnat to know if the software is available to run on a home laptop.
