Clutch Fighting Back Gtr `91

[rasored]

had the head skimmed as was warped ( 0.8" )

on returning to the road I noticed that the brakes were crap and had little effect and the clutch pedal is pushing against my foot when revving and driving !

Any ideas what is wrong ?

cheers all

Check the vacuum hoses?

Bad idea, skimming the head. Now the face is flat but the top side is still warped, so cams are bent.

What do you mean about the clutch pedal? Why is your foot anywhere near the clutch pedal while revving and driving?

No-eyed Deer - I had never even thought about your bent cam point !!

Think i will call the engineer and see what he says - just me being inquisitive .

Fitted to the car is an OSGilken multi plate clutch and in traffic if i sit with it depressed in gear it gets hot and will judder when next used !

SO I return to neutral every time i am in traffic with my foot resting on the clutch ready to go . This is when i found the clutch pedal pushing my foot up when i revved the engine .

Also the brake servo pipe is SERIOUSLY under pressure / almost solid feeling when the engine is running .

I was thinking maybe there is an issue with the AAC valve as the engine rev`s have also increased after refitting the head .

Bloody Hicas started to try and kill me today as well , keeps pulsing and trying to correct the steering wheel angle to straight in a bend ?? NOT going to lock out as when it works it is so much faster on the road - have heard that not that good on a track though .

found the issue - the O ring at the rear of the clutch master cylinder that seals the servo unit to the master cylinder was split in half and so letting air in .

Found part of it sticking out of the vacuum pipe that connects to the 1 way valve and then AAC valve .

Lucky break as would not have thought of that !
