Re: getting my SE6 back on the road bulld. Update 28/2
Hi all....got my "serious head on" the other day.....Turned my attention to the Crank/no start on my C20ne.......took off the crank pulley to check the timing.....
Top TDC with tippex on the timing mark not by me(belt was changed 10k ago)
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/12670925_10153431017526453_5658053139647223497_n_zpssstfqn3n.jpg)
Timing mark on the crank sprocket

Now it all needs a clean to confirm.....but it looks like the belt has slipped.

![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/2016-02-28%2011.10.41_zpsqbplmztg.jpg)
Im still sure the timing marks dont line up.....but all i have to go by is the tippex on the crank sprocket...there dont seem to be a real mark like on the crank pully.
Back of the pully
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/943982_10153432642321453_159850383303118391_n_zpsi4lqh5di.jpg)
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/2016-02-28%2011.10.50_zpsbv9agejb.jpg)
The rear timing cover has seen better days tbh
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/2016-02-28%2011.11.16_zps9nncmfp5.jpg)
The question remains......if i take it all off(which needs to be done anyway)...reset the timing...will it be ok...?
Thanks all

Now...while im at it.....time to try can re-produce a back plate to sell on to you lot lol off to the foundry to try a "bench mould" casting.
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0087_zpsqeplqnmc.jpg)
Not too bad...the plate part needs to be thicker to "run" better....also i knocked the mould out too early.

![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0089_zpssobdbpph.jpg)
Worth a try......so I`ll keep at this idea.
Now as im so random when i go down the CallyCave ive started on the timing belt....as no matter how much i try the TDC`s dont line up....
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0358_zpsspk5cmmh.jpg)
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0378_zpsrtqzjlnk.jpg)
Im hoping this is why i have a crank and no start issue lol
Got this TDC finder tool to play with....it goes in cylinder one and gives you a indication of tdc on compression stroke.

Off with the cam pully....to get to the thermostat housing...where my water leak is coming from....
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0381_zpsrbwucmqt.jpg)
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0380_zpsjc9knodz.jpg)
As you can see there is a fair bit of crap and corrosion...so the leak might have been dripping for ages and just boiling away.
the thermostat housing......not in the best of condition.....there should be a seal here...there was no evidence of anything...no bits of rubber etc...
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0389_zpsfeprsemk.jpg)
No2 in the top of this picture..
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/thermostat_zpsjpeovg3b.jpg)
The rear timing cover shows more signs of leakage...and is brittle as egg shells
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0390_zps7cduykr9.jpg)
A shot blast at work...and good as new...almost.

![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0397_zps9c4fsf4v.jpg)
Apart from what seems to be a crack.....
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0398_zpshjlqr0n5.jpg)
It goes up and around to the top bolt hole...
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0395_zpso8jelnek.jpg)
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0393_zpsapukl8vt.jpg)
Now i have found a new one on ebay...but its £88 so plan B is to see if it can be fixed...so i pasted some Chemical Metal around the crack...sanded it back a bit and a bit of paint...just to see how that goes....

Now...while im at it.....time to try can re-produce a back plate to sell on to you lot lol off to the foundry to try a "bench mould" casting.
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0087_zpsqeplqnmc.jpg)
Not too bad...the plate part needs to be thicker to "run" better....also i knocked the mould out too early.

Worth a try......so I`ll keep at this idea.
Now as im so random when i go down the CallyCave ive started on the timing belt....as no matter how much i try the TDC`s dont line up....

Im hoping this is why i have a crank and no start issue lol
Got this TDC finder tool to play with....it goes in cylinder one and gives you a indication of tdc on compression stroke.

Off with the cam pully....to get to the thermostat housing...where my water leak is coming from....

As you can see there is a fair bit of crap and corrosion...so the leak might have been dripping for ages and just boiling away.
the thermostat housing......not in the best of condition.....there should be a seal here...there was no evidence of anything...no bits of rubber etc...

The rear timing cover shows more signs of leakage...and is brittle as egg shells

A shot blast at work...and good as new...almost.

Apart from what seems to be a crack.....
![Image](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah26/CalibraSE6/DSC_0398_zpshjlqr0n5.jpg)
It goes up and around to the top bolt hole...

Now i have found a new one on ebay...but its £88 so plan B is to see if it can be fixed...so i pasted some Chemical Metal around the crack...sanded it back a bit and a bit of paint...just to see how that goes....

Re: getting my SE6 back on the road bulld/progress thread.
Looking good Mark, hopefully you have fixed the weep and can get the timing set up again!
