Mmmmmmmm, OK...
Thanks. I didn't want to take the rocker cover off if I could help
it.
I wonder what the
missers will say when she finds her broom has been shortened... :) Maybe
I could say it was a performance mod... :)
Geordie,
Take the plugs out of
the engine and put a clean piece of wooden rod (old broom handle cut off
etc,) on top of the plug hole and press down As you turn the engine
over if on compression stroke you will hear compressed air escaping between
the dowel and the plug seat.
Cheers
Feral Errol

Sorry if I appear dumb, but what sort of engine are you
using this home-made
job on?
I am interested in finding out more from
you about this, I have just bought
a microtech EMS and am going to hook
it up to my SR20t tonight. It appears
to be a very simple system as far
as wiring, but the software appears quite
detailed..
Another thing
is that when I got the engine the Crank Angle Sensor was
removed. I
believe that to install it is similar to a Dizzy, you put the
motor on
TDC#1, install the dizzy/CAS with TDC1 mark or rotor posi lined up
with
the sensor/#1 pickup, and then offset it by the timing angle, ie 10deg
or
8 deg or 15deg whatever is required?
Is that the correct
method?
Also, if that is so, then how do I know I've got TDC on #1
and not #3? Do I
have to pull the rocker cover off and check which one
has both sets of
valves closed?
If anybody on the list knows any
of these answers I'd appreciate it... Maybe
Pete
knows?

Just a little update
on the home made engine management system for
anyone
interested.
The ignition part of the system works now – I
was up most of the night with
the system plugged into the back of my
computer throwing sparks all over the
joint. Great stuff – really
wakes you up ! All that’s left now is to mount
the crank angle
sensor and it all should work. It’s actually quite amazing
how much
stronger the spark is compared to the old dizzy setup.
The Fuel
injection system is coming along as well – I obtained some old
Webers
which I’m going to use as throttle bodies. All I need now is
to
construct an EFI manifold which has inch and a half exit ports to mate
with
my
head.
Jeff
