Try pulling out the inner speedo cable. Clean it and lube it with some light grease or speedo lube. They sometimes wind-up and then when they let go it makes the speedo jump. Gary

You really did a great job, know it must have been allot of work, but that aluminum looks great polished. Maybe you ought to try and seal it. POR15 makes agreat clear and very tough clear sealer. They even have it with a little colered tint to it. Gary

:banana: I love that Banana, go figure. Hey I really appriciate the help, this is a great board. Gary

Here's my story: I bought a 86 GL 4dr, D/R, EA82 carbed, for $200 that was smoking badly. The smoke smelled like anti-freeze and was white. The car started easy, ran well and I drove it home about 8 miles (no one knew though because all you could see was smoke. The guy I bought it from thought that it had a head gasket leak on the right side, thats what I assumed also. When I got home I pulled the plugs but could not see which cylinder was leaking , all the plugs looked the same, black like it was running rich but none of them looked white. I thought that maybe there was a common leak that might have contaminated all the cylinders. The best bet for that was maybe the intake but it was sealed. Reading the forums it seems like a head was probably cracked. I pulled the engine so I could clean it up and also to pull the head easier. I pulled the right head and there are what looks like cracks between the valves on both cylinders. I don't have any dye penatrent but they look like cracks. My questions: 1. Is this typically where the heads crack? 2. Is there other places where the heads crack? 3. Is there a way to repair this head? 4. Should I check the other head? 5. Is thare any other places that anyone can think that may leak coolent into tha cylinders? There is a small hose that comes off of the base of the Crab and connects to the metal tube that leads to the heater hose. 6. Why would it blow so much smoke and not show on the head? 7. Does anyone have a right side head, looks like I may need one? Thanks For your help in the past and Thanks again to CCR for helping me get my Hatch running.

Guys thats what an engine should look like. I noticed you both use webbers. Does any other carb fit the manifold. I saw where one guy used an old rochester 2bbl of an older Chev, must have worked? What cars had a webber on them? Last Do the still run well and get any kind of milage? I use this car as a work car and it's to cold for it to breakdown all the time.

Emily I'll Be in Touch, This is so cool.:wave:

rolleyes: Have a 84 hatch with EA81 and a 86 sedan w/EA82 carbed. Both 4x4

What is the deal with all the vacume lines on a Suby? Can I eliminate any of them, maybe change to a different carb. What other carbs fit the manifold that will reduce this clutter. Electronically what happens if I remove some stuff, will the car run?

I meesed up and didn't tighten Dampener nut and ruined my Distributor drive gear. This is the gera that is on crank just behind dampener and front seal,not the gear on the distributor itself. Suby Dlr says it's an obsolete part and the local salvage doesn't want to dig in the snow to look for a bad engine to take gear off of. Anyone have a bad motor that i could buy the gear off of. Thanks colosuby
