Jason Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hi Johnny, is this an engine noise or a transmission /drivetrain noise? You will have to approach it systematically to try and narrow it down to a single set of components. Is the noise there all the time you are accelerating but not there when you come off the gas?

Deleted User Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I can help you. It may be a dropped thrust washer or knacked gearbox layshaft.I'm back up that way in the next few weeks!!GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyj Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 the noise is ther fore a short time and comes when i give full gas and then wen i dropp the gas, if i don this repeatedly the noise disappear, and it dosent matter if i have it on gear or not just a smal difference.The gear stick is vibrateing and i can´t hear anyting diffrent wen i stand on the out side, i have change oil and 10 min after it started.I did a test to see hove the Compression was and its good.

mikeyb Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Check the oil pressure - if low, could indicate engine bearing wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valencia1 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 the clutch trouble could be caused by the dropped thrust washers at the back of the crankshaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valencia1 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 your english is ok. the engine lean is normal but you should not be able to shake it that much . get your mountings checked and your u/joints sorted as soon as possible. this all adds to vibration trouble.regards, bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyj Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 i tink i have solved one problem the starter motor was loose:) that never crossed my mind, i droopt a tool down there and when i was picking it up i did notise that it was losse.One more ting can a clutch frome a mk1 fit on a mk 2?

valencia1 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 yes a mki should fit a mk2, but unless its a fairly new clutch you are going to use ,its a case of false economy, bearing in mind the hassle of taking the gearbox out and back in, you only want to do it once! also genrally speaking mk1's had a 7/8" slave cylinder as oppossed to a 1" one fitted to mk2s this" may" have to be swapped as well. do you know what make of clutch you would use? also, later mk2's used a different thrust bearing carrier, again swappable.regards, bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Thompson Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 The clutches are inter changeable , use the7/8 bore slave as this will give you more travel Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyj Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 okey, i got the clutch fore free, frome a whery old frend, he hade a workshop back in 60 and he has a lot of parts in he´s stores, so it´s new.i got at block to a 2.5 and can i use a cylinderhead frome a 2.0?

valencia1 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 varies, use a head gasket from /for your 2.5 block and see if it matches the water way holes, and stud holes etc on the cyl. head of the 2.0. early 2.0's had smaller stud diameters also.regards, bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyj Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 i now that the haed frome mk1 have small holes, and mk2 head big holes. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Hi BryanUsing a 2.0 head on a 2.5 block may result in too high a compression ratio. The 2.0 head is thinner, the actual thickness depends on which engine its from - see this link. http://www.triumphclub.co.nz/technical.htmlUsing a 3.4 inch head should be OK as the 2.5 PI used this head thickness, but if yours is 3.3 inches you will have problems. Some people say using a PI head with carbs will cause running on, but that's what I am using and it doesn't. I did smooth out the combustion chambers though, so this would have lowered the CR a bit. (I'm rambling again now)You may also have problems with rocker adjustment and need to use shorter push rods. I've got a 2.5 head in need of new guides and seats which is going for free, but I'm a long way away from you my friend.CheersGlen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Yes, but there is a difference in 2000 and 2.5 clutches. The 2.5 clutch is stronger although can be fitted to 2000's. Note so sure about nowadays they're probably all generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
