Re: [doc] PRV Hunting - response.



Ok so I was not going to join in this discussion but I
now feel I have to add my 2p

My car used to hunt really well, not as much as one
car I know , but it was noticeable.

Last weekend I stripped the engine down to fix a water
leak, and in the process of putting it back together I
used gasket in a tube on all mating surfaces, and cut
all vacuum lines back a little to get a good clean
seal.

Guess what,, I no longer hunts when cold!!! must have
been a vacuum leak somewhere

Whole job took about 3hrs including cleaning some
bits.

Hi M,<BR>
<BR>
Good to know we have someone of some authority in the
UK.<BR>
<BR>
Stripping her down to the waterpump sounds quite
involved! Still, I may <BR>
attempt it next year at some point or get my local
garage to have a go (by <BR>
&quot;have a go&quot; I mean... get them to do
it!).<BR>
<BR>
Yeah the Calibra is stuffed. The bearings on the
waterpump seized; the <BR>
cambelt jumped and bent a load of valves. I'm awaiting
an estimate on total <BR>
damage and repair. If it's a rebuild then I'll try to
get her strengthened <BR>
for more power - around 315BHP should be
sufficient.<BR>
<BR>
How is your new purchase coming along?<BR>
<BR>
Well I'm buying a new run around soon now... too
expensive to run these <BR>
sports cars daily!<BR>

&gt;Hi Dan<BR>
&gt;<BR>
&gt;He seems to....<BR>
&gt;<BR>
&gt;A hunting Engine does not need a rebuild, but at
some point think about<BR>
&gt;stripping it down to the water pump and replace
all the seals, maybe cut<BR>
&gt;back the vacuum hoses a half-inch etc.<BR>
&gt;<BR>
&gt;Your Calibra stuffed is it? Have a chat with Si -
he's rebuilt his engine<BR>
&gt;more than a couple of times..... and you know how
he likes turbos....<BR>
&gt;<BR>
&gt;Could have sold you a nice reliable TD BX a couple
of months ago....<BR>
