Secondary actuators

[mgbrv8]

Dose anyone have a failed secondary actuator they woud want to donate so I could see if I can disect it and see if I can do a write up on rebuilding them so we dont have to rely on 20+ year old OEM parts on shelves it seems to be one of the rare specific parts on our cars. I figured if I found out how to rebuild our tensioners may as well tackle the next part.

Looks like "PhillipsLT5" and I were somewhat "simultaneous". Anyway that's it!

The best explanation on how to install the secondary canister is provided by Jerry. Very appropriate here for backup information :thumbsup:

I have installed NEW canisters with the linkage arm straight contrary to what is/was normal (the original canisters were properly installed with the linkage arm at an angle). I have also modified the canister arm for an original installation so the arm did not contact the canister arm opening. Secondary Canister Installation TIPS (http://www.zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?p=175944)

Both installations seem to function without any interference.
But for the record see Secondary Canister Installation FACTS TIPS (http://www.zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?p=175956)

Oh of course I'm good friends with Mark that writes it now. He is publishing my work on the tensioner rebuild and I think he will find the secondary and a few of my others very interesting.

If you need another one, let me know. I have a couple.

By the way, when I redid my secondaries, I had one of the "new" actuators and "new" secondary vac solenoid fail within a month of install! I replaced the failed actuator with the good old one I removed, and bought a new solenoid. All has worked great for a couple years now.

I found the part under another part number and it was used as a egr component on another vehicle all i had to do is trim a little peice of plastic to allow the connector to work. When I get home Ill post the part number

Also there is a small tab on the plug connector that needs to be trimmed out with a exacto knife and a needle nose but it OHms out to the factory one and the continuity was the same
