Re: 250 Gte Valve timing
Just realised what confused me. English Handbook mentions inlet Cam times as following: Opening start 27 before T.D.C Closing end 65 after T.D.C But closing is after bottom dead center. I guess the translation used T.D.C for every punto morto instead of differentiating between top and bottom D.C. No...

Re: 250 Gte Valve timing
Hi Tom,
absolutely right. I left out the 180 degree in the calculation. Autsch. Thanks for correcting me.
Absolutely clear.

Re: 250 Gte Valve timing
Hello Dyke, thanks for your very detailed input. If you speak of centerline of inlet, would that mean you dial in the cams to 19 degree after TDC for the inlet in regard to the tip of the lobe of the inlet valve (inlet opens 27 before, closes 65 after per handbook/ 27+65=92/2=46-27=19). If yes I gue...

250 Gte Valve timing
Dear All, dear Tom, I have to set the valve timing on my Gte. I know that the factory marks are only of use for pre-mounting and that the right timing has to be checked with a degree wheel and pointer using opening times. Thats clear. I do have mounted both camshafts with the according marks aligned...

Re: 250 Gte Distributor
Hi John, Tom, Thanks a lot. I had marked everything when I dismantled it as I was not aware of the factory markings. I have looked at the parts now and found all the ,X‘. I will definitely have both tested foe their advance curve before using them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! That is bid help...

250 Gte Distributor
Hi Tom & All,
happy easter to you.
I dismounted one 250 Gte distributor today to check for wear and found two different length of springs in the weights. See picture. Is this normal?
Thanks

Re: 250 engine water pressure test cylinder heads
Hi Tom,
Two questions in regard to the gaskets from Murray Glegg:
1.) what torque do you use for the head bolts with this gasket?
2.) do you use any additional spray sealing like VHT?
Thanks a lot

Re: 250 engine water pressure test cylinder heads
Hi Tom, Thanks for the helpful answer. Does the proposed setup for the test as described by me make sense? I must confess that Elring did contact you because of me. I made them aware of the trouble with their gaskets and recommend to speak to Piet Roloefs and you to get info on failures. What I like...

250 engine water pressure test cylinder heads
Dear All, here comes an engine question. I have mounted both heads on my Gte engine and want to pressure test the head gasket sealings. Two questions: 1.) The 330 handbook says to test with 125 psi, thats about 8.5 bar. This is very high compared to the normal running conditions! What pressure do yo...
