MG ZR: Cams & Maps

[lolsteve]

That is steep cost £10 for some tiger seal so there wanting £500 to spray the roof? Madness

Been racking my brains since the meet and I'm stumped checked the inlet gasket isn't leaking? Heard there a bastard for it

I don't think his is, as it will idle high, or refuse to tick over at a steady idle.

Is pretty steep, will end up having to try and do it myself now. Will be shoddy but i'll save some pennies I guess
Pretty sure it's not inlet gasket as don't hear any whistling or what procta says but going to change rocker gasket and tighten cam ladder bolts soon so will give the manifold a quick spray about

Sounds like my head gasket. Not overheating, heaters working, no steam, no misfiring, no leaks, but water disappearing!

Water isn't disappearing though and hasn't lost much ever since replaced the radiator


Purchased the heat wrapped Janspeed 4-2-1 and decat with new exhaust studs and bolts for £110. Shouldn't have spent the money but I want shinnies for track season

Reading some more turns out the vvc can be mistiming but not limit the revs it's the cam phase signal that limits (?)

"The only way to tell if the cam timing is off is to put it on a diagnostics rig. The ECU won't apply a lower rev limit if the timing is wrong (bizarrely), only if the cam phase signal is missing alltogether.

Checking the cam pulley timing doesn't prove anything unfortunately. Its very easy to have those spot on and the mechs slightly (or completely) misaligned, resulting in restricted travel. Are all 4 plugs running the same colour?
