Hi Chopperoli

checked the ht leads order, all good, I think maybe somehow the timing has skipped on the cam belt. maybe I need to fit a dedicated piper cam vernier pulley as the stock one will always be out, just thought that now, maybe stock pulley will not work.

thanks for the suggestion, its ...

Evening all, A bit of a long story so i'll be brief:

Fitted piper fast road cam and piper followers, made very sure to zip tie the cam belt to the pulley BEFORE removing old cam to maintain timing alignment, replaced cam, checked dizzy arm was still lined up to the line, it was. Put everything back ...

Thanks folks for the advice, I think I will go for the newman 268 cam, its a good price and seems to have a better rep than the kent.


Once again thanks, have a great weekend.

Hi guys and girls,

I finally after a two and a half year wait have the reconditioned engine (DX) and gearbox in my beloved rocco, including a stainless manifold and jetex exhaust, she's now fully run in and goes really well and sounds amazing. My question is to you lovely people is: is it worth ...

HELP !!! Good afternoon all, spring seems to be in the air so it was with a spring in my step that I nipped into my mechanics workshop to see how my beloved rocco was getting on ref; the rebuilt engine , when the look on his face said it all. Houston we have a problem..... I purchased a nice shiny ...

Hi Guys,
just back from the garage where I have had the chance to check my engine, and yes there is a hose outlet between injectors 3 and 4.As I have no injectors currently in the engine(thus my current attempts to get info to buy some) I cannot measure the thread size as I have no injectors to ...

Hi Mark,
thanks for your reply, My car is an 1988 GTX 8v with 1781cc DX code engine, Joost, posted a reply on another thread I quote : Depending on threadsize on the injectors you need :

Good evening all, I am about to order some new injectors for my 'rocco but want to make sure I get the right ones. The engine code is DX (17891cc). Does anyone know if there are replacements that would upgrade the performance of the O.E ones or should I stick to standard? (It's a long story but the ...

oops, just realised that I'm the wrong section for technical section, I shall re-post in the correct place.

Hey Tim, my current engine is the 1.8 8v DX code engine, if i could get hold of a wiring diagram pertaining to this particular engine swap I figure it will be worth it, my rocco is my only car so i don't want it off the road for months. its the endless trial and error that i'm trying to avoid.Anyway ...

thanks to all for replying,

I've done it on mine and used the 9a management mostly because I had it and knew it all worked properly in the car it came out of.
Physically it will fit in the bay easily, its the same height as the KR 16v, already has the mounting holes for the cambelt end engine ...

Hey fellow roccophiles, last week I was offered a 95 corrado 2 litre 16v for 300 squids, which I quickly snapped up. The owner had it sat in a field for a year or so and wanted rid of it. I originally bought it to put the leather seats into my rocco, which I have done, but on closer inspection, it ...

hello all,

I'm a newbie to this forum and have just finished my introductions on the introduce yourself thread and now I am in need of some some fellow rocco lovers advice. As I'm sure many of you know the clutch cable on RHD drive cars is prone to rupture the bulk head. Mine did and is now sorted ...

Hello all 'rocco lovers, my name is Scott from Jersey in the channel islands, I bought my 88 GTX (or the black wedge as she is known to my mates) back in 2008 for 500 quid and she is still going strong. I have had about 10 cars since I started driving but the rocco is by far my favourite one, she is ...
