k well the spring that holds on the throwout berring unclipped itself on one side last week. friday i got around to pulling the trans and fixing it. sure **** the spring unclipped itself on one side. put that back on there put trans back on. adjusted the clutch cable. clutch felt weird as hell. like it doesnt engage.



i was able to aquire a d16a6 head, cam and valvetrain which was ported polished and milled as a very good price. threw that on:



take the car out for a spin. clutch engages for ****. im guessing that the disc wore all screwey after driving on it for a week with a throw out berring that never really disengaged. if it gets better great if not new clutch.

but. im leaking oil like a **** near the driver side motor mount. it is not coming from the head gasket. it apears to be coming from behind the bracket.:

the leak does not come from the circled area but from some where near where the aarow points. lie underneath that bracket for the mount. im clueless as to whats going on there. any ideas?

car hauls *** tho =P

 

you sure thats; not your head gasket?

adjust the cable some more and see if it fixs the problem.

 

yeah doesnt leak from the gasket leaks from like the block behind that bracket.
im at a loss

 

thats one bad *** head

 

that's why they sold the head for cheap....a manchine shop should be able to patch it up.. i think....

 

i sold him the head, i never had a problem with it when it was on my a6...you did buy a new head gasket didn't you? everyting done to that head was done by a machine shop also

I had to go back in the trans twice for that realese spring, sucks.

 

damn that sucks any ways i think i finally gonna have a dx trans again....and throw in another d15 see how it runs first got a 88 DX in at the junkyard the other day

 

could be a bad cam seal .. i had a friend with the same problem he said it was a cam seal .. but i havent talked to him in a couple of weeks so i dont know for sure if it is or was and if he fixed it ?? just a guess

 

yeppers. i dunno its weird. i'll look at it some more tomorrow when theres light outside

the head itself is in great shape, not warped. cam and valve train are fine. mabey this head gasket just sucks

fixed the leak. was on my way to class 75mph 5th gear @ 4000rpm car started hesitating like a ****. thought the timing belt was slipping. took it back. t-belt is fine. pulled the cam gear and guess what. no cam seal. put my old on on there no more leak. so i lost a quart of oil in 3 miles on the freeway. good time to skip class . clutch still sucks. mabey it'll ware itself and fix itself (prolly not) oh well

 

Nice aura!
