so i got my car running-ish today and went to try and adjust the clutch but ran into some seemingly major problems. like, the clutch seems to be engaged . ALWAYS. so you could put it in first and it would just sit there. the clutch cable is adjusted all the way out so idk what the hell is going on but im pretty fed up with this car right now, so any suggestions? is it engaged or disengaged.?

Timing.....Engine install
spokanesoob replied to spokanesoob's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
well i have done timing belts before but, what i did was, i set it up like i always do one cam up (Pass side) one down (drivers side) and the flywheel pointer aligned with the center of the three marks that look like this ||| then what i did is take the disty out, and put the rotor at #1 and installed. sounds like i did it wrong. what im gettin out of this is i have to do the cams, and then rotate the engine to 0btdc and Re install the disty? and when i re install it i have to line up a dot?? thats the part that confuses me. -
well i just spent the last 4 or 5 hours assembling my engine after i got the heads back. i thought the D/S camshaft slipped out and the disty was off so i realigned it to what it should have been, put the pointer between the marks the pass side cam down and drivers up.well i just tryed to start it after puttin it in my car and it just pops. i hate that feeling were you feel like you threw away 5 hours of you time just to be disappointed. oh well thats working on cars. so any suggestions on what i should do about my situation? when i aligned the disty i did it with the pointer pointing to the center marks is that wrong ?
-
ok thanks, i didnt look at it closely.
-
is there a certian way to install the clutch? there is a raised up part and idk if that goes facing the flyweel or facing the springs on the Press. plate. or does it matter?
-
ok, i will wait and put the belts on check everything out, thanks
-
what should the drivers side cam case look like when you re-install it? im assuming that the lobes shouldn't be pushing down the rockers? also were should the DISTY be i think it might have moved when i did the cam seals.

its for welding the crack, a pressure check. Milling both heads, hot tanking, and to re pressure check after they weld the heads. both of my heads had exaust cracks in them -
