Self Tunning - Khyber G-10 (Plugs, valve clearance, spark gap etc)

[hassantahir2]

Can you please explain how its done in desi mechanics language? The process?

That can be done if your mechanic has underground inspection facility (zameen k andar jo bnatay hain) sorry forgot the real name for that...
Otherwise you can place the jack under control arm's near to hub and lift it till the car is suspended on that jack then tighten those bolts... But that is done equally at both side's..
Though they can be loosened and tightened at ground if mechanic uses common sense. I replaced the control arm's myself sometime back and tightened the bolts same way. That was tough but went well..

My gabriels gives strong dk dk sound from left rear shock when i cross a speed breaker with 2 passengers in the back. May be my shocks are done and need replacement. But the question is why KYB are expensive and considered softer than the gabriels and i'm still confused about which brand to get.

Stock springs with spacers are better than after market stiff springs. Addition of spacers raise height and add slight stiffness to overall suspension.

Reverted back to stock springs with spacers, which is actually better solution.

@hassantahir2, @s15, @speedster_101, @saboor73, @smijaz, I need your help guys my breaking system became buggy. Last night when I was driving after 14 or 15 kms break paddle became hard but working and I can feel my wheel are jam. When I reached my destination I checked all four wheels and found both front wheel were dam hot I cannot even touch it for 2 seconds. But after 3 hours of stay when I was coming back to home everything was fine.

Can someone tell me what is happen with my breaks.

[s15]

Front brake caliper pins are intermittently jammed. Sometimes it gets jammed, and sometimes it does not.

Front discs run hot, but if they are hotter than usual without any harsh braking, there is jammed caliper pins.

Silicone or di electric grease (one of them) is recommended to be used on caliper pins and then they don't jam for long time (6-12 months atleast), but I could not find them locally, so i used SINOPEC grease on them which works good for 6 months, and then I re-lubricate the pins every 6 months (even if there is no issue) and I check tires for getting hot (i touch the rims only) once a week.

"A word of precaution is to never touch brake discs, only touch the rim"

This extreme heat is main cause of
1) warped/deformed brake rotors.
2) hub warpage.
3) overheated/glazed brakes leathers.
3) melting of wheel bearing grease that causes bearing to run dry and they wear out pre maturely.
4) inefficient braking and a few others.

During brake work, also get proper bleeding done for all 4 sides brakes.

Do I need to disassemble disc brake system? Please tell me how to apply grease on caliper pins myself.

I took my car 3 months ago for brake service, and mechanic only change brake shoe, brake pads and both front discs. But he did not apply grease any where.

@s15, Thanks for help.

[hassantahir2]

Caliper pins can be greased easily.
You should have a 10mm socket/wrench for that and proper grease.
Open the Two bolts holding the caliper both are 10mm remove the pins clean the bore of caliper in which these pins move and also clean these pins and check for any wear and tear on them apply good amount of grease and assemble them back.
You can check Eric the car guy and chrisfix channel's on Youtube for detailed video's on this topic...

well bro by that way ur problem was solved or not ? what could b the problems if air comes in carb from any other place

Carb works on vaccum built by moving piston inside engine if engine is breathing air from anyother place other than "carb venture" engine either wont get correct amount of fuel or wont get any fuel at all

That's what i read somewhere too that copper plugs produce the best spark but last less and iridium or titanium do not produce better spark but last longer.
