how do you bleed the clutch
The rear wheels should not move till the car reaches 50mph,the speed will vary slighty on j spec models that are de limited IIRC.You can get the wheels to turn at a walking pace by following a diagnostic procedure that involves pressing the clutch and turning the steering wheel in a certain sequence.Ive tried it to no avail but im told it does work.its explained on TT.net.the hicas light will flash during the diagnostic indicating any fault.

What gap at 20 - 25psi
For 18psi i run .035 so for 20-25psi you could start around that and gap them down if you experience spark blow out.But an amplifier will help as stated.

listen wot do you think
That sounds like big ends IMHO.the noise is to heavy for lifters.To prove it retard the timing.this decreases load on the pistons which causes the clack as the journal slops around in the bearing.

Faulty o2 sensors will not cause excessive white smoke.The ecu will default to rich if it cant read the o2 sensors which will give you soot on the back bumper.- turbo
if your car is de catted,putting the cats back on will probaly stop the smoke.- head gasket sniffer
Sometimes when cars are overheated the heads lift with the expansion and the gaskets stop sealing.Did the bolts feel a little looser than you expected?- head gasket sniffer
A common misconception yet regarded as the correct and proper way?? id rather have to explain the cost to many of my engine rebuild customers then apologise that i did it on the cheap and it went wrong.alloy heads can be a pain to clean up after removal so a light skim gives a good surface for the new gasket especially if steel multi layered ones are used which are far less forgiving than asbestos types.I really dont see how around 6 thou removed from a face is going to weaken it that much or cause compression issues unless your running very high boost pressure :rolleyes:.- What do people think about...........
Its the hole in One as youd know it.- head gasket sniffer
it can be done in situ if its a turbo model but it would be far easier to remove the engine.- head gasket sniffer
^^^^^^^^^ Yes not worth all that effort and not having them skimmed.If the heads are not warped now they probaly will when you undo the bolts.- Service, Oil Pump
Id dont see how it means the pump is at fault if you do really have low oil pressure.The pressure in an engine is kept by the close fitting of journals to their bearings.if the journal to bearing clearance is high then you will lose pressure.Pumps seldom fail in my experience.- 4l Fuchs Fully SYnthetic £19.39 Delivered
Run mine on the semi and its good kit.GFS sell it for peanuts.- Virginia Water Meet Sun 26th October, up for it?
