ok so i got my gaskets today, and i have stuck one of the coppers in and boom it was popping on choke and little mess about with the idle screw and it was running looks like jolly_roger_uk was right, it was a air leak, when i took head off, 3 corners were dry, expected for one thanks to all who commented, was a good help

ok so time for an update i have not bought a gasket kit just yet, but when i did replace the head gasket when replacing the piston, so only just back in from messing around with it again and i seen the head bolts with lock washers, they were not full flat or flush screwed in fully, so i did them up a little and it start and the weird sound i was getting went away a little, but it did run for couple of seconds now my plan with it i think is to still get a gasket kit and make sure bolts are done up right so my next questions is, what gasket kit i could get? i have seen ddms steel heavy duty one on ebay or what about copper ones, or should i just stick with the paper "standard" ones?

hi all i am having trouble with my engine the other day it was running like a treat and then it just cut out randomly, i got it home and taken spark plug out and checked for spark, there was no spark, so i though it was just the coil witch has been knocked off track with the flywheel so i relined it all and then i started getting spark after messing around with it after that i started sticking it all back to try and start it, so yanking on it for ages and wondering what is going on...getting fuel to spark and thought i was just flooding it, so i remember seeing a little trick online "might be this forum site" to stick a little bit of 2 stoke oil down the spark hole to see if it is compression so i stuck some oil in and tryed to fire it up, this was not on choke and it just popped like it would on choke when you pull and try and start so i gathered this is where the problem is i had a new piston head and the piston ring is not very old so i just stuck new piston in and used the same piston ring due to not being very old and worn now i have tones of compression but it dont sound right when i pulled on the starter making everything going round in the engine, its sounding like a tubo charger on a car when you up shift on gears,making that kind of whistle sound i did manage to get it started with this strange sound yesterday and it did fire up but it was running at full revs and going nuts i am stuck on ideas and possible things witch could be doing this, this is my second engine in this and dont want to get more parts or anything like that right now, these parts are not even 3 months old crank case and head, crank shaft is from original engine and its a stuffed crank they call it, it was running fine before it just conked out on me the other day and never made this sound before sticking this new piston into it any help would be amazing for me, i have writing it how i can remember how everything went

cheers bud, i will keep all this in mind, and make sure i do it right lol, before this diff died on me, i did take it out before i bashed it and stuck some more oil into it, and when i cracked it open, there was not much in, so i did fill one of the cups with gears in it, would that of been what caused it to snap away at the bolt tabs?
-
nice idea mate, im deffo going to buy a turtle racing case and will look into the hpi stock diff. any good ideas on the diff oils? likes of thickness, think they go by cc or something?
-
good idea, think i will go the route, buy a new diff for the now, then get a tr case, i have heard the integy stuff is bad, just wanted to see if there gear box was any good!
-
cheers bud, but would be better if the seller is in the uk cause its a b*tch if its from the US or some where like that
-
no need to argue folks, bad parts are bad parts, some might work awright for other and some might not for the other half, if that makes any sense lol
-
cheers for getting back to me, yeah i was just thinking about just getting the diff but i was going to get a alloy case for it sometime down the line and this has gave me the chance to just get a hole new gear box, the link i added to this post on here of the diff would that one be awright?
-
the other day i was out bashing with my baja 5b, and it would not drive when i put some power down. i thought it was the clutch or something in them lines. so i got home, dint touch it cause i could not be bothered taking it all apart, but today i did. so i have found my diff just destroyed so, i am here wanting to know what i can do, i could order a full gear box with alloy case and a heavy duty diff from integy for
-
ah would of thought the gt85 would do it some harm, yea i am planing on driving it in the snow, and will maybe look more into it in a few weeks cheers for the advice!
-
and that does not effect them in anyway? might just get some electric tape and cover all the gaps and stuff and the balloon method to maybe
