84 EA81 rough idle questions.
mfa_mad_pig replied to mfa_mad_pig's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The tach only fluctuates a couple hundred rpms so I think a rebushing should do it. -

I rebuilt the weber so I think the float is probably good. Checked the distributor and there definitely is some play when I wiggle the rotor. Not sure how much is too much though... -

Forgot to say already have new plugs, wires, cap and rotor, and fuel filters. The tach jumps up and down at idle also. -

Triple checked and can't find any vacuum leaks. Also has a new PVC valve. Idles rough above 900 rpms and won't idle at all below that. Anyone have any ideas? -
EA81 really hard to put into gear

How do I adjust the clutch? Kinda new to manual transmissions. -
So my car was driving fine until this morning. It all of the sudden is extremely hard to put it into gear, like I have force it but there's no grinding except for when I try to put it into reverse. What could this be?

So I've got an 84 EA81 wagon and it idles really rough. I recently did a weber conversion and changed the head gaskets and and there are no vacuum leaks, it still idles rough. What could be causing this?

ea81 removing valve rocker bolts.

Haha I'm not being a girl I just really don't want to have to tap out a broken bolt. I'll just use the breaker bar. -

I'm keeping the motor in the car while I do the head gaskets... not sure if there's a way to get the PB blaster in there. -

Yeah, they just won't break loose. Just don't want to mess anything up. -
So I'm in the process of tearing the heads off my ea81 to change the head gaskets. My problem is I can't remove the 2 bolts in the valve rockers. Is there a trick to it?
-
So my ea81 is running rough and there's lots of oil in the coolant so I'm going to replace the head gaskets. My question is can this easily be done with the motor still in the car? I really don't want to pull the motor. Also I'm looking at the Beck/Arnley graphite head gaskets, are these good ones to use?
-
So my 84 4 speed wagon makes a high pitched whine whenever the clutch pedal is depressed. It kind of sounds like a squeaky belt but only happens when you press the clutch in. Any ideas what this could be?

4x140 to 4x114 adapters

I'd be interested if the price was right. -
What are you trying to do with them?
