Thanks Petros I wiggled the wire and it works now.
Does go just above centre mark still, yet doesn't go any higher so it's so far so good.
I have grinding sound coming from under the rocker cover, I suspect camshaft bearings is this an easy fix?
Do I need a special tool? I have a puller.

Took the Terc for a run and on examination after valves done: Runs well on open freeway. A bit of smoke came out at high revs yet only initially, ran it at around 4000 on 3rd gear and around 4000 rpm on second for a bit to see what happens, it cleared up an the smoke stopped. Assuming that is just r...

Also, someone ripped my windscreen wiper rotor off.
Does any one know if another model fits or if I can fabricate?

Yee Ha!!
Thank you PETROS!, if I could get you a beer I bloody well would get ya two dammit!
It started now it's revving high so I shut it down.
around 5-6000 rpm.
What would that be the problem there?
I'll check out the cables.

Thanks for the advice. Checked the timing adjustments. TDC is on the middle arrow through the peep hole and the crank is lined up on 5 degree's. The distributor leads are 1342 clockwise on the dizzy from front of motor. Had a mech around yesterday and he got it started, sounded really bad on idle an...

I have figured out the problem on the front end. It was the bolt in the strut holding the shock that was moving, tightened it, no more noise. Have anew problem, Just done the head gasket and valve seals and valves. Took my time, the Petros method, everything is on. Noticed very slight moisture aroun...

Damnit!! Went to use my windscreen wipers and found out some one snapped (Broke) the centre one clean off. does anyone know a fix for this (Mc Gyver) since there are not any around at wreckers. Also that clunk.. Got new inner tie rods and `sway bar bushes and it still clunks, mainly when going over ...

Tuned the car by dizzy (Distributer) Adjusted the idle screw to stop it from bogging out (Stopping) to keep revs up when dot (on front crank belt) lined up with timing light (Which was connected to dizzy). If a car car makes sounds with suspension when one is not in motion, this does not make sense ...

Hi dlb, It clunks all the damn time. There is a little play in the wheels. Changed bearings, CV joints,Left outer tie rod. Was told by mech when got a wheel alignment last time that my inner tie rods are shot, so I suspected this to be the problem. Have ordered a set of inner steering rods at a dece...

Got a big clunking sound in front end when driving.
Thinking its the steering rack (is this the part that fits to the tie rod end?)
Its on the passenger side, just changed the tie rod end.

Have an oily discharge coming from where my spark plugs sit.
Is there a way I can stop it from leaking?

That reminds me when I got the steering aligned the guy said both my inner tie rods are worn. The wheels have light play.
So this may be causing problem?
Was looking at replacing all the front bushes with polyurethane soon.
Snapping a sway bar? damn!!

The sound happens when I go over bumps.

Thanks blokes. Yeah, nothings really cheap here. Around $30 a fuel pump? I can't believe we get charged what they charge us. The cars running well still so the fuel pump can't be gone right? Cant find a Tercel at a wrecking yard here there rare as hens teeth. The problem came about after doing that ...

what were you doing when the car started sputtering, and can you describe the symptoms with more detail? for example, was it bogging and bucking on hard throttle, sputtering on idle, etc?[/quote] It was bogging on Hard throttle then came clear after hard pumps on accelerator. Found it hard to start ...
