Greg_S S2 Coupe 20+ years going strong

[Greg_S]

A bit more tinkering this evening. Screw for the side repeater ordered and new plugs fitted so will see if that stops the misfire on boost when it’s back on the road again. Old and new plugs. Old plugs look in good condition overall (F5DPOR)

A bit more progress made this afternoon. Got the pollen filter changed over, finished refitting the bumper and under tray. One of the rubber mountings for the airbox popped out when I was changing the filter the other day so i refitted that and discovered my lambda probe had worked loose, got that tightened up aswell.

Gave the old girl a wash and ready for the next set of jobs to start, will be looking at the misfire next and fitting new plugs before anything else. Got the sunday service at Silverstone with Pistonheads next weekend to look forward to but going in a friends corvette rather than the S2 this time

Error404 massive thanks for the loan of the locking tool. So much easier with the right tools, I had purchased a good quality 3/4" 1m breaker bar, impact extension and socket. For tightening the crank bolt I also had 1.5m bar to go over the breaker bar too. The torque on the crank bolt is insane, the breaker bar was visibly bending tightening it up.

Jobs done today:

• Fitted Billet Crank Pulley from terrybullwon
• Fitted new RS2 timing belt
• Fitted new PAS and alternator belts
• Changed oil and mahle filter for some Fuchs Titan Pro S 10w50
• Changed air filter for mahle

I still have a long list of jobs to do, but got the bumper and headlights etc back in, but still need to align the bumper and refit the under tray. Then I can turn attention to changing spark plugs which need doing, fitting MAF pins I've had for ages and various bits like the door card rubbers.

Details on their way

[Error404]

I have a tool you can borrow mate. It's a 2084 tool I modified for use with an ABY pulley assembly - it uses the snub mount to lock the pulley.
I can pop it in the post for you mate, I won't need it for a few weeks
PM me your address

Greg, I got the transporter locking tool, which is a simpler beast but should work. I say should, I as used a flywheel locking tool on my build, rebuild of my build and the original cambelt change in 2007.

I can send you the locking tool or they're about £30-40, it requires a 3/4" drive and a big bar.

Do you have the part number for it?

I was looking through old threads and found Jon441cc modified the 3256 tool to add an extra tube and longer bolt to fix it. Im questioning if I fitted the damper on the front in the correct orientation. I could undo with the tool as is by getting some bricks underneath while i crack the bolt and then rotate back for the correct timing, but doing back up is more difficult.

Im not getting rid of the S2 anytime so it would make sense to buy, otherwise I was looking at modifying the tool I have. When I rebuilt I locked the flywheel so could do that otherwise

Thanks, I’m going to try a local fabricator to see if I can get a tool made that will fit similar to the 2084 tool, from the pic on the ADI timing mark thread the crank position does look correct

See attached images for where the locking tool doesn't quite fit. The bolt isn't long enough to reach the block and the metal tube is about 20mm short. Unless I'm missing g something

[Greg_S]

It’s not that simple I don’t think, when I did align the locking tool in the correct position the locking tool bolt seems too short to fix to the block securely, i’ll See if I can take another picture tomorrow

That looks 180 out.... I think you have the correct tool, just the crank v-belt pulley is bolted to the timing belt pulley in the wrong position.

Crack the bolt with it in wrong position, and then rotate 180 lining up marks and remove the 4 allen bolts and main bolt entirely.

Reassemble the correct way round -my guess is it was done with an impact wrench last time....

Been a few months since I’ve had a chance to work on the S2. Started work to change the timing belt today with a couple of issues to deal with. After getting the front end apart I found the crank locking tool I had bought doesn’t look like it’s compatible with mine, see the pictures. Got all the t8ming marks line up fine just need to get a crank locking tool that fits now.

can anyone loan a crank locking tool? And or have one for sale that will fit?

the other minor hiccup was ordering the wrong pas belt, new on on order which will be here in the next few days. Ordered myself a universal camshaft locking tool to make life easier when removing Allen bolts as well.g

[Greg_S]

Got the horn working again tonight and refitted battery. I've not been happy with gear selection, I'm sure I've seen a guide on adjusting the gear lever but can't find it. Any pointers?

[Greg_S]

I'll see if I can get some over the weekend, revising for exams this week aswell so will try get a few in between. Not too much has changed visually, just a good clean and headlights back to standard
