I can't follow the rules, and like to put up posts without reading them...

Hi mate its Paul, not good news then! Sounds like either a piston ringland has cracked or the piston has been damaged, any compression is then leaking past the rings/piston into the sump and then throwing it out of the breathers. It happened to my Punto a few times, normally after...

thanks mate

Regarding the arrows on the caps, these point towards the cambelt side of the engine on the Starlet, yes?

I thought as much. Thanks for confirming this. Did I speak to you earlier about the head gasket problem with this car? The FAI gasket that did not fit the locating dowels on the block correctly? I think Craigs going to order the genuine gasket with you tomorrow.

I'm currently in the middle of changing the head gasket on a customers car, the gasket was previously replaced less than 1000 miles ago and has failed already. Upon removed the cam cover I noticed that the cam keeps looked to have been fitted in the wrong order and to the wrong camshaft...

the car they have come off and was a non abs model

Sorry, i forgot to mention the master cylinder was also changed. As i've said if the flexi hoses running to the rear calipers are clamped the pedal feel is hard and the front brakes work fine, if not it sinks to the floor and the brakes are shite. is there any valve on the rear beam where...

If you are running these on a Paseo too, did you only fit the calipers, carriers, disks, pads and flexi hoses ?

A friend of mine has fitted a Starlet rear brake setup to the rear of his Paseo, everything that he thought was required was fitted, calipers, handbrake cables etc. With these calipers fitted as they are its impossible to get a solid brake pedal, the brakes have all been bled but the pedal...
