That video was pretty cool! Nice, keep em coming.

How do you, in fact, check the prop alignment?

Ok. Cheers.

Can you give me an example of values? So in the next valve adjustment i'll do the change.

Yeah, the fine manual is always your friend. If the car is a high miler, you might need to set use a thinner feeler gauge than the recommended one to compensate for wear in the rocker arm.... or at least that is what I used to do to stop it clacking ^_^ What you mean? Instead of the regular adjustm...

Cheers mate. Some small updates. Got a roof rack to take my bikes and tyres, painted the front bumper and grill, still waiting for a new volvo sticker for the front grill :) 1600km + done since i got it. http://imageshack.com/a/img673/7169/yCdZxw.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img661/2765/tH8tUp.jpg ht...

Long time with no updates. The car is already in the road since the past saturday, 19th July. Head gasket was replaced with all the other gaskets, head skimmed, water pump, thermostat, belt, oil and coolant, all fixed, but due to the blown head gasket, the 2 mid cylinders have a " spot ", it made so...

Looks like the 340 fever has come to stay. It's my second car ever, and again a 340 :lol: It may be the slowest car i've ever driven, but i really like them, owning one is interesting. My first one: http://imageshack.com/a/img594/8484/mwb7.jpg I've always been a drift/rwd whore, so i had to buy a rw...

Hello, I will possibily aquire another volvo 340 1.4, also on lpg for cheap, but it has a burn head gasket. As i already have a 340 1.4, i'd like to swap that engine to the new one, since both are lpg, etc. etc., and the new one is mint condition. The problem is: I don't have a hoist. I have a garag...

Does not fit, rails are different and sit too high.
I'm welding the original 340 seat rail to the 440 seats in the next possible time.

How much are they?

Last time i've checked the Rota version, 13x7 it was an average good price.

I use 15W40 as said in Haynes. Mineral ultra cheap oil haha.

My car has a similar or the same issue that this E36.
What is the most possible cause?
I'd like to change rotor arm, distribuitor cap, plugs and spark plugs. What should i look first? Also, my 1.4 is LPG, the plugs can be the same right?

thanks
