More Problems

ok this is what my car is doing :spit: except where the glow plug is connected too. I have the cooling head and that so tight in the engine that I don't see how it can spray like this :spit:. Now that's wrong?

 

[ImBroken]

Is the copper washer on the glowplug? Did you inspect for a clean, unscathed surface around the glowplug hole. If your tightening it down onto a grimy surface, it's not going to seal correctly...

 

[Ryhton]

I may be missing something, but could you explain the problem in a little more detail. All I am getting is that your buggy is spitting up water.....

 

[AC48]

I think he is saying its spitting fuel out the glow plug hole???

 

[6_dman_6]

well it's spitting fuel where in the cooling head and out of everything where the glow plug is held in.

 

[FastEddy]

Its still difficulty to understand your question.
If fuel is spitting out of the plug hole around an installed plug, you may want to look and see if the plug is tight and look to see that you installed the copper washer under the plug as well.

 

[6_dman_6]

ok where the coling head meets the engine. it makes a hissing noise and when the pull start is pulled fast enough it will shoot fuel out where it meets. I made sure the screws are in and everything I just don't get it.

 

[ZANDOR]

pull off your heat sink.and replace your shims..
did you pull the head off before??or did it come lose?? and then you tighten it down??. it sounds like the head shims are in a bind.


mods can you rap all of his threads in to one.this is getting confusing..

It sounds like your just going to have to take the cooling head back off & inspect the shims for any signs of being pinched.. I would replace the shims anyway, along with the 4 bolts, & put it back together.. The head has got to be torqued down evenly in a criss cross fashion. Good luck..
In the future, please keep the title of your thread a little more descriptive of what your actual problem is, rather then loosin your cool...

 

[msly]

Do you think there is a posibility that he cross threaded the glow plug into the head? I am still having a problem understanding exactly where his fuel is spitting out of??

Sounds like the head is just not sitting right on the block....

 

[WA2FAST]

As far as for your problem... obviously the engine has been tampered with at some point weather it was by you or the previous owner. In either case, assuming the screw threads aren't stripped for the head, you need to take the head off and replace the shims. Make sure you are using the coper washer for the glow plug and you should be fine.


This guy just doesn't learn, and this is getting a bit rediculous... can a mod please put all of his jibberish posts all into one like Zandor said?

6 dman 6, it would be helpful if you would use full sentances to explain your problem the first time around as well as the title of the thread describing the problem in short... is this too hard? You have ranted and raved on each and every post so far and to be honest with you, the problem seems to lie in the user rather than the equipment. We are here to help and will as we have shown so far, but you need to understand that we do not want the boards getting clogged up with post after post of yours with confusing, incomplete sentances that you seem to post. Especially when every other post is from you on this board.

We need to get all of these into one... maybe called "6 dman 6's buggy problems" or something. It's getting a bit out of hand.

 

[Nitro_Freak]

i totally agree WA2FAST. we're trying to help but you also gotta work with us.

 

[6_dman_6]

Ok, the problem with my car is that the fuel is squitring out of the engine where the cooling head meets the engine. I checked and nothing seems wrong with it. The car sprays the fuel when you pull the pull start. I've looked at everything mentioned and it all seems fine.

 

[olds97_lss]

Well... somethings obviously not fine.

Do you have shims (or a shim) between the engine cooling head and the engine block? Are the contact points where these shims touch the head and block clean and void of any nicks or defects?

Other than that, I can't imagine why it's leaking out on you there. Or are you mistaking a head leak for an exhaust header leak? I've had that happen, when my exhaust seal got tore up.

 

[6_dman_6]

ok let me know about he exaust leak. I'm not sure exactly what it is. Also what is a shim?

 

[olds97_lss]

Well, every 1/8 buggy I know of (this is the buggy forum), has a rear exaust engine. On the rear exhaust port that the manifold connects to, there's a silicone seal. The seal wears out over time due to vibration. The metal to metal contact and constant vibration has a tendency to chew threw it over time. As well as bad wrecks that impact your exaust pipe.

As for the shim, all engines that I know have have a brass shim that seals the engine cooling head to the block. The shim is made out of brass (or copper, can't remember which), which is relatively soft, to seal any minescule imperfections in either the base of the head, or the top of the piston sleeve. Also, the shim or shims are a way to change the engines compression. For higher nitro fuels (25% on up) most engines require an extra head shim to compensate for the extra bang that the nitro causes.

Here's a pic of a comparison of a stock 2.5 head and an ACNCM aftermarket head that I sold. The head on the left has a brass shim on it, whereas the head on the right does not. The only reason it doesn't is due to the fact that I never received one with the head. If I were to use the head, I would have needed to take the shim off the head on the left, or buy an extra one.

As for the exhaust gasket, I don't have a pic anywhere to give you an example.

Hope this clears it up a little for you.

 

[6_dman_6]

hmmmmmmmmm...... I still am not sure what the heck is doing this. I think it is my shim. How much does a shim cost to replace? Also what kinds of problems could go wrong with the shim to cause sush an effect? Is it possible that if your screws wiggle a little(mine do) that those maybe what are causing my problem?

 

[vbgagnon]

if the screws wiggle that means that they are not tight?

 

[6_dman_6]

Was that a question? Well the screws only wiggle when checked without the cooling head on and only with the part that holds the glow plug in on. I only put the screws in halfway and they wiggled a little.
Also when the cooling head is off the part that holds the glow plug in shoots up when you pull the pull start that is normal, right?
