EVO buying advice?

[russ979]

Russ, main thing is to check for all the lights come on the dash when you put the ignition on, ie ABS and AYC. If they don't light up then there is a problem and someone is trying to mask it.

Also, on slow turns if there is a groaning noise coming from underneath that means the AYC pump is not at it's best, or it needs bled. Also on 4 's they tend to suffer from crankwalk so listen out for that, otherwise it's all the normal stuff.

Thanks Logan this is just the sort of advice i`m looking for!:thumbs: But what is crankwalk?:blush5:

You're a dark horse Russ. Bloody Evos. How could you let the side down like that? Ought to be ashamed of yourself leaving Harry out in the cold.

Anyway, good luck finding one. If you're really lucky Rob S will be on your case and find you a cracker, then I won't be speaking to him anymore if he does find you a good one.

Maybe Kim will be tempted out to play if he still has his IX

Gerry, good time to exercise your admin skills and ban Rob S or change his password (By the way, I did try and help you by suggesting Russ buy that Pulsar )

Crank end float. Clutch may have a high bite point. Don't know if you can detect it easily by feeling for movement, behind the crank pulley, while the clutch is depressed. Someone who knows Evos may be able to tell you.

Looking further afield for others.......no point posting stuff you would have seen already.

Russ, if you find an evo with a blown engine i should have a completely rebuilt evo 8 engine available soon
