Anyone know where the drive for the water pump actually goes?

ChristoT · « **Reply #51 on:** 27 March 2015, 09:17:38 pm »

I believe it runs off the same shaft as the oil pump. That's a clutch out job.

As my young Padawan says, the water pump is driven by the oil pump which is in turn driven by the clutch basket. Bring it up to Molesworth I'll have it fixed in no time.....

Wow I'm excited.
Clutch out is easy enough isn't it?
So is this replace oil pump time or separate parts?

Deefer what would you charge including parts?
You're a way away but wouldn't be the end of the world.
I want it fixed so badly to enjoy for the summer, alternatively I'd have a go myself if it were a reasonable job

Cheers

getting the clutch out isnt much of an issue, removing the clutch basket is a bit more fiddly. I cant give a accurate costing of the job until I get it apart, BUT I have an inkling of whats wrong and absolute worse case would be less than £200 but i would imagine it would come in at far less than that.

A drop in the ocean of what I've spent on the thing so far!

Perhaps I'll look into some time I can get to you though you're 3 hours each way or so.

Is this likely a job I could do?
I can do a fair bit not a total novice or anything.

I'm happy to pay just a long way and if something went wrong...

Thanks

I have so many engine spares even if something was horrendously wrong it would not be much of an issues, Like I said it could be a couple of things but until its opened up a definitive solution cant be given, Just out of interest when your new cam chain was fitted do you know if it was a continuous chain or a split rivet link type?

davidkent · « **Reply #57 on:** 28 March 2015, 08:01:23 am »

It was a continuous chain but I bought the soft link for it.
used a link recommended on here from wemoto I think it was.

Cheers

Deefer666 · « **Reply #58 on:** 29 March 2015, 07:59:06 am »

Right so the engine wasnt split to fit the can chain, just the head taken off?

davidkent · « **Reply #59 on:** 29 March 2015, 09:40:52 am »

Not head off. New chain joined to old and fed through.

The noise began months before I had the chain done. I assumed it was the chain so had it done and it wasn't the chain

checked the clutch plates? the basket could be worn

davidkent · « **Reply #61 on:** 29 March 2015, 09:49:39 am »

Had the clutch apart earlier in this thread but don't really know what I'm looking for.

There's a noise that stops when I pull the clutch lever as normal but this tapping is different and remains constant?

Paulfzs · « **Reply #62 on:** 29 March 2015, 11:47:44 am »

ahh ok...

Maybe take "feeder" up on the offer of looking at it

paulchucky · « **Reply #63 on:** 31 March 2015, 09:12:33 am »

difficult from video but sounds vey much like exhaust blow from falnges ?
easy to check and relatively easy to fix

ChristoT · « **Reply #64 on:** 31 March 2015, 11:36:39 am »

If the head never came off... timing issue?

davidkent · « **Reply #65 on:** 31 March 2015, 01:54:02 pm »

He did remove cams mind you so should be timed
as said when I move the pump it stops though.

Also think I do have a slight downpipe blow but that's a different noise lol

Deefer thinks he knows what it could be my issue is distance

paulchucky · « **Reply #66 on:** 31 March 2015, 04:43:43 pm »

a slight blow on headres can sound like a loud ticking !
if it starts ok runs ok then :

as i said diffficult to tell on video but does sound very suspect
i`d sort the exhaust blow out and see if the noise goes !!

davidkent · « **Reply #67 on:** 31 March 2015, 04:58:59 pm »

Are these just gaskets, is there a guide?

Well do that but as said when I move the water pump it goes so Im pretty sure it isn't that.

It's blowing on my link pipe too but can't seem to find a decent way to seal that either

Cheers

you got this sorted yet mate ? if so be interesting to know what it was

davidkent · « **Reply #71 on:** 07 April 2015, 08:06:35 am »

Funny actually.
I sooner had I clicked send on a pm to Deefer, you clicked post on this. Looking into it now.

Steering rack went on the car the other day so that was priority

davidkent · « **Reply #72 on:** 19 April 2015, 07:44:09 pm »

Deefer didn't reply

Seems the oil pump is the next culprit.

Problem is, I'm not sure how involved changing it will be.
any suggestions, is it worth the effort and is it a mental job?

Will it involve splitting the chain or just removing the tensioner etc?

Second hand worth it?

davidkent · « **Reply #73 on:** 30 April 2015, 05:07:38 pm »

Changed the oil pump.
Still does it.
Now what!?

Deefer?

Paulfzs · « **Reply #74 on:** 30 April 2015, 05:25:06 pm »

how odd :S
