Another question. I'm sorry!!!!!

Regarding my new coil packs. The numbers are the opposite side. 1,2,3,4.

Do I put the HT leads back to match up where the would have been on the old coils? Or put them as whatever was in 1 on the old coil goes into 1 on the new coil?

I've got the rave diagram that shows how theyre meant to be. It's just the numbers on the coils that are throwing me off.

Heres the picture. If you look closely you can see the numbers are opposite. https://ibb.co/kZyzYQ

oil looks fresh that's all. Had CO tester on at MOT. No probs there.

On another note, I've just been cleaning the injectors on my homemade rig. I knew that I probably had one dodgy one and I do. It's sticking open and letting fluid through without being clicked on and off with the battery. No probs as I bought 1 spare injector. The bad news is, there's 2 dodgy injectors doing the same thing. doh!!!!! Any ideas on a repair or am I up the creek???????

**Never mind. I've fixed it.

thanks a lot. got some gasket sealant and paper.

cheers.

I'll nip over to the motor factors now. There's also sealant between the manifold and the gasket (the orange stuff in the picture that looks like rust). This isn't required is it?

Got manifold off. Looks like an oil leak on the underside. (top right of the picture) Would be left hand side as you look at the car. Is this a gasket? I don't have one and it's a bit late to get one now. Is it fixable with hylomar or such like?

Advice please.

Many thanks

Lol. Cheers.

14.5 ohm +/- 0.7 @20C

I've got 15.3 on the kitchen table. Will that do?

EBay with free p&p I think.

Anyone know the correct ohmage for the bosch injectors?

I've got a reading of 15.3

The Bearmach ones are £2 a pair. At least with genuine ones you'd know they were gonna be right. Not really any need to cost cut on £2 O-rings for a major job.

part no: STC 3262

cheers.

just reading through the rave destructions.

What size O-ring might it be for the inner coolant rail to inlet manifold?

Or can I get away without draining coolant and not removing the hose at all?

Not exactly SnapOn but for rockercovers it will do.

I shop at Lidl and Aldi all the time. Great for little tools and bits and bobs. They don't have them in at the moment though.

sorry. I have both imperial and metric sockets

I'll check the rocker cover bolts in the morning and get the relevant socket from my mate if need be. The new bolts I've bought are hex.

Thanks

ok, so back on topic

I think I've assembled all of the necessary kit. Although I've not done this kind of job myself before, I'm pretty confident (as long as there are no headaches) I can get it done. If anyone can add anything or has any tips, that would be great as once I've started, the mode of transportation is either foot or public.

The Job

Slight misfire. Cylinder 5 is suspected to have a leaky injector. LPG had to be altered to compensate. Plan is to refurbish injectors and replace the iffy one if need be and to be thorough, I've also decided to fit new coil packs, HT leads and spark plugs. Surely this will eliminate any misfiring.
Also replace rocker cover gaskets and clean manky rocker covers.

If anyone has any words of wisdom, i'm all ears as I'm not a mechanic. This will be my first mission and I don't really want owt to go wrong or the Mrs will be bending my ear saying "why didn't you just send it to the garage?"

Tools:

Torque wrench
1/4, 3/8, 1/2 sockets
16mm and 21mm Spark plug sockets
socket set ranging from 5/32 - 13/16
100mm and 200mm extension bars
Universal joint
hex bits
Flat head screwdrivers
Cross head screwdrivers
Standard and needle nose pliers
Hammer
Rags
Carb Cleaner
WD40
Homemade injector cleaning rig

Components:

Upper inlet manifold Gasket
Rocker cover bolts
2 x Rocker cover gaskets
Spare Injector (incase the suspect one is completely fudged)
8 x BCPR6ES spark plugs
2 x coil packs
8 x 8mm Ignition leads
Injector seal kit

Thanks

After extensive reading and video watching, I've been boring and gone for standard rubbers. I'm not convinced that poly's would be right.

used to get the same noise by sticking a lolly stick on the spokes of my bike.

lol. I think there was a wheeler dealers revisited where the car had been scrapped.

oh. Ed China spoke rather highly of them.
