project mk2 410

Older cars actually use the whole temp gauge, it should run hot. Mine kicks in at around 3/4 of the way.

oh fair enough then, i'll just have to check everythings wired up just incase

With everything off flip your magic switch a listen out for anything. Think my switch was installed as it doesn't have the intermediate fan kick in. Only the final trigger. Leave it running on the drive for a while and see if it kicks in once at temperature. With no ram air then it will get warmer and the fan should kick in.

i have another question.. on the drivers side there is some sort of fuel line.. when running smoke comes out the filter.. ive seen other mk2's and they dont have this, the hose goes down to the back of the engine block and its not got a jubilee clip to hold it on
 ive smelt the smoke and filter and it just smells like fuel.. so i dont get why it'd smoke out fuel? so it obviously doesnt go there

heres the pics

that will be your crankcase breather sir. its actually meant to plumb in to air filter box but I see you have kn so it will just be vented to atmosphere. same way mine is and it never caused me any bother.

ahhh it makes sence now, so it does need to be there im guessing, well mine smokes and smells like fuel.. is that normal?

[gazareth]

yeah that will be oil fumes your smelling. its best to have an oil catch tank on end of pipe or vent it underneath car otherwise you might get oil mist getting up on to your windscreen or fumes coming in through the bulkhead. my breather just hangs down by the sump. keep it away from exhaust though.

I forgot the smaller engine mk2's are carb not injection. Looks empty in there without airbox and inlet. Mk2's look a bit empty regardless though

[gazareth]

yeah you can actually see the ground under the engine piece of cake to work on.

There is no plastic sh!t trying to hide everything
