Hmm had a slight drama, i was changing the wheels to stockers, so that it would be lower, (there is more tire flex in the 15's then the 18's)
When all of sudden the engine lost all sorts of compontentry,

I thought that it was becuase i lifted the car to high.

in my quest to find what was the problem i took of the intake, i found all the sparkplugs there, (no problem, all 19 there), so i proceeded to remove the generator, it seemed to work correctly! (turned in circles)

What is this and how do i fix it?

Looks like a cam gear, but its about the same width as the timing belt so id assume its something to do with that, perhaps just a pulley... Im not sure mate...

what ever it is i bet its expensive.

I'll assume this is serious, altho I have my doubts... :?

It looks like a belt drive gear, the teeth are rounded for a toothed belt (and the belts have rounded teeth for quieter operation). How it fractured I won't speculate on, but they are usually formed using powdered metallurgy techniques.

Probably from the crankshaft nose...

That's my 2c worth of conjecture and supposition. :)

i know what it was and the reason it broke was because it was tentioned to tight! (not really sure who did it but that car has a full history so i assume it was mitsu), the manual specifies that the bolt holding the cam shaft pully should be tightened to 88Nm,

As per the manual we tried to undo it, using a breaker bar about 12-15 inchs long and the force of me pushing against it! (Well over 88nm,) it creaked before the bolt loosened, and once out, fell apart,

I'm not really sure how much it is going to cost to replace and i know that i have to either get a genuine on from mitsu, or find a wrecking yard that'll sell me tha parts, hope it's not to much, it's delayed my driving progress another few days,

Here is a pic of how i thought that i'd solve the problem!!!!!

lol :lol: :lol:

hahaaha very amusing :lol:
oh and what does Nm stand for?

newton metres ? damn physics

NM means the size of the hammer you smash the crap out of the spanner with......only joking lol
Newton Metres, it is a measure of force.

Newton Metres, it is a measure of force.

Nm is a measure of torque.

N is a measure of force.

careful with the information and practice what you preach in the other post Dr. Petro-Ject :lol: .

btw, i kept my promise by not replying to your Petro-Ject rubbish in the other post. but i had to shove this one down your pinhead opening at the top, through your fulla-shit trap and right out the ugly dump pipe you have as an outlet for all yer crap.

Well either way both could be correct however alf before you go shooting your mouth off remember every post you have added is crap to my one error.
Dr Petro Ject I like that one, might have to chang my nick.
It seems clear you do not like the fact that my 3 year old is miles ahead of you in mechanical knowledge.....poor wittle alfy
Going to the Adelaide meet mat, would love to see you there if yout trike will make it that far or is it a bit far away from your mummy

MUHAHAHAH!!!
thats the funniest thing ive heard in ages (both of you)
thanks for the larf :)

if i made it to adelaide to see a whole piece of Ugly, i'd whoop your ass so hard you'll cry enough to make your 3 year old laugh!

YOU Guys NEED MSN.
Oh - and join me in - i wanna watch!
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
:D

Sorry Alf, has this turned physical now.
Oh you poor little boy.
I have no arguement with you, I have edited this section as I can not be bothered with arguing with a little boy and bringing my self down to your level mate. Just leave my son out of this, I think we both know what I am refering to when you told me to go and F*** my son.

ooh you talking abt ethics now? i am asking you to go do the same damn thing again!

dude, you guys are really hog'n my post here, i think that the appropiate action will also take place,

On another note, Madmagna does work on most of the Vic magna's down here, and you dont here us asking what is fuel injection, or where the oil goes in????

There is such thing as a workshop manual, all the details that you may not know will be found in there, if there is anything else that you need help with i'm sure everybody here in the loving community of aussie magna is happy to assist,

Thanks; but if you want to fight, please take it to another post!

Alf, there is a line that can be crossed when you are argueing with someone, you have crossed that line.


For the sake of all of us, please grow up.

Alf, I assume by your nick you are 26, sure you are not 16 or a product of incest thus your brain does not engage.??? Are you in QLD or Tassie.

Alf you dickhead, learn to count.


read threads in Topic: Sound recording of weird noise.........

You can yell and scream as much as you want and act like a fool, which booth of you have, and I must admit, I find quite amusing. But to take it to the next level and threaten physical violence agaist someone and bring there son slander is crossing the line.

I don't want to start another flame war, all i'm saying is, if you must fight, fight fair, no hits below the belt

Comeon' this is a seriuos post about a broken cam pulley, not a fighting ring,

You need STAGE 2 Cam Gears :D :D :D

i sure do!, funny how similiar the look!

hmmm what is the $$$$ factor

Billions...... or maybe Millions? :)

i got a price, the cam gear from mitsubishi, is $179.00 per a pulley, that is quite expensive?? anyway, small price to pay, if it did break during a drive, i think i'd be in some seriuos trouble?
