Great video. It's nice to watch a video and actually learn how to make a repair. Way to be clear on the repair and what was needed to make it.
Thank you so much!
Excellent job! Not the Lemans mod but still excellent work. 👍
One day ;)
When these were manufactured, the green flaky substance WAS the rubberized coating meant to insulate and protect the exposed electrics. With age the coating deteriorates and flakes off, exposing electrics to the elements. BTW Ferraris contemporary to this X1/9, like the 308, used nearly identical headlight motors. Trivia: the green label with "N.A." means that this is a part that meets specific requirements for the North American market. The label is also seen on other things like the front and rear marker and tail light housings.
Nice work! The diodes have no effect on the motor speeds, they are two independent machines and it really is down to age, build, friction and the like as to their speed. Yours are pretty close in speed, so all good.
Good to know. I think that the motors could use some lubricant at the joints. That could help.
Hey garage time tv, I have a 79 x1/9 project car that’s I pulled the motor apart on replaced the head gasket and everything above it, got it all together then I started to add coolant, it was taking coolant bleed the rad but then it got to the motor coolant was entering the cylinder closest to the thermostat housing, it was also literally pouring out of the exhaust manifold, took it all back apart, headgasket Is fine and the block it’s holding coolant, do you think it’s a head issue? Looked everywhere for cracks but can’t find anything, also cylinder number 2 2nd one away from the thermostat housing has 30psi of compression all the rest have 100, any info on anything to check or look up would help a lot, it’s my first project at 18.
Hey joe! Seems like you have a lot going on here. Send me a DM on instagram to see what we can find out!
@@GarageTimeTV sounds good, I’ll send you a dm
Hey joe compression should be 150 on all cylinders. Make sure your valve timing is correct very important. The cylinder head mus be flat and tru other wise you can have head gasket issues. Make sure you didnt bend a valve if the timing was off. Though i think 77 and up are non interference engines. Make sure the 2 or 1 hollow dowels that locate the head are not interfering with the head squeezing down properly. Sometimes, they are banged up. Also the water pissing out the exhast manifold is problably the wrong intake exhaust manifold gasket. I believe the 79 only has a different water activated egr valve i believe a pasage has to be blocked by the gasket otherwise the coolant pours into the exhaust. Ive heard that problem before and its a simple gasket or plug the egr port. Good luck
@@michaelorlando6159 great advice! Good starting points for diagnosis
This is a common (and easy fix) thermostat housing to head; you have the wrong gasket and a passage that is supposed to be blocked off it not. I have been where you are and could not figure It out (I got lucky and was changing the thermostat so I just undid what I had just done and found it.. but after major work.. it's an easy (and common) thing to happen
