Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

This has probably already been covered but buy a good rear hub puller (or arrange to borrow one). The reproduction KR Wilson puller advertised in the V8 times comes to mind. Get a puller that pulls...

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

I wonder if there is something else going on here? When you stand in front of the car and look at the nut you are turning it counterclockwise? Sorry to ask something that simple but something just...

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

I assume you have a tool that looks like this for removing the nut on the end of the camshaft? After the gear is off put the nut back on with a spacer and use this tool to check that the camshaft...

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

Mart,

I was thinking the same thing when I read your post. One piece of information Frank is going to need is what torque should it take to turn the cam (after the initial break away torque). ...

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

David,

I agree that trying to turn the gear is non productive. I was afraid he would take you literally and spend too much time trying to not turn the cam (even a couple of degrees) as he removed...

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

You lost me, how would moving the cam bend a valve? Are you thinking of some of the late model engines that have the pistons hit the valves when the timing belt breaks?

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

David,

You lost me on one thing. You said that you "recommend that you not attempt to rotate the timing gear as you risk altering the valve timing". Since the crankshaft turns free relative to...

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

Frank,

Unless I missed a couple of posts somewhere (or there is something you didn't tell us) you still haven't found the problem. Did you check out the easy to check things mentioned earlier? We...

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

Frank, Don't spend any money on the inspection camera. It will probably be the only time you use it. As has been suggested, pull the half moon shaped cover off of the side of the engine and look...

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

Frank,

As a side note, save all of the bolts and reuse them. I know this would be a sin on a satellite. The bolts that hold the cover on (I assume they are the same as a '32) have a rounded head...

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

Bob,

Good catch. I definitely dropped the ball on that one. I didn't realize that the shaft was the lift point on the current pullers.

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

You can check the timing gear by removing the timing pin and sticking something into the hole to feel the gear move (or not move) as you turn the crank.

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

Frank,

Bases on this I would think that you may have stripped the timing gear. Remove the timing pin and see if the timing gear turns when you turn the engine over by hand.

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

When you turn the rotor, which is attached to the distributer cam gear you should get a small amount of rotation because of the mechanical advance. You can also see this on your other distributer. ...

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

Take off the distributer cap and pull the rotor up and off. The cam is held to the shaft with a screw and if you are extremely lucky it has come loose (probably not). Try to rotate the shaft by...

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

Are you sure there is supposed to be a resister on the 4 cylinder? I don't believe there is one and I can't find one on the wiring diagram.

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

Unfortunately, unlike in the old days, a coil (or any part) being new doesn't necessarily mean it is good. Don't replace too many parts at one time or you may end up looking for multiple problems. ...

Re: 1933 can't start after recent restart

When you replace the wiring don't try and do it yourself using bulk wire from the local auto parts store. Buy a harness from one of the suppliers, it will be cheaper and better in the long run. ...
