timing issue or flywheel/clutch?
hello everyone, i recently had to install a new ACT extreme 6 puck clutch since my old one was worn to its end since it was used heavily by previous owner so anyhow i had the flywheel turned along with the new clutch being installed including slave cylinder.
when i start the engine cold the car usually idles at 600 - 800 RPM for a minute or 2 before warming up to its usual 1k-1.2k *timing issue i assume*, however since installing new clutch etc ive noticed that the car vibrates at start up little more than usual until its warmed up at which point it stops. im wondering if this vibration can come from the installation of the clutch/re-face of flywheel or its my timing issue?
i would also like to mention that my oil pressure sender is leaking oil *ordering one next week, until then car's under glass* so my oil pressure is low at idle until i get the car moving after a while it rises to normal, and i also had the rear engine oil seal replaced as well since that was leaking too *thank god i found it*
if you all can give me your opinions on this matter i would be grateful. ive searched but so far i have been unable to locate another case thats similar to mine. the ones ive seen sort of related involve dropping the tranny for replacement of a bearing so im hoping this isnt the case. thanks guys, appreciate any help
