I occasionally browse social media of AL members (that I can find of course) Mostly the member active from 2006 ish to around 2014.· 1 reply
I am proud to say almost all of them are much wealthier now than when they joined many years ago.
Most of them drive some real cool machines.Some are even on the “car spotters” pages (which seems to be the achievement target for young guys)
I’m very sure the passion and excitement plus the wealth of knowledge gained from Autolanka helped them to have the awesome taste in cars they do. In a sea of new money people and their flashy show off cars. The Autolanka crowd still stands taller.
Not many young people know about AL, even the old members seem to have forgotten/passed that era. But the cars they drive and the class they show is unmatched in the car scene.
Thank you @MADZ for starting AL and even more so for maintaining it all these years. I saw that you are in Sri Lanka no more, understandably. But I’m glad you still make the effort to keep it going.
The country keeps going backwards. But at least the Autolanka members are doing well and keeping that AL spirit.
Cheers.

After owning the Camry for 2 years I just realized I have never been driven in the backseat. The only other person who has driven the car other than myself as well is my Mechanic· 3 replies

Question
Ramburg
My Dear Friends,
I am new to this group and I am sorry If I bother you all by asking a question from the very beginning. My car engine is a 5A-FE rebuilt by my own. Here is my story,
Pulley Wobbling
1) During rebuild I saw the crank key has been misoriented. It was too late since I already fixed the crankshaft to the engine and there was only the pulley to be fixed.
2) Then I tried several times to make it properly fix and at last hammered to the key to push it to the slot.
3) After installation I observed that the crank pulley is wobbling slightly.
4) When I increase RPM wobbling disappears.
5) Please see my video that I took.
6) In the video the crank pulley wobbling can be seen but there is a particular rhythm,
7) Could you please let me know the reason for this? Do you think my light hammering would have bent the crankshaft key way? Is it that much fragile?
Tapping Noise
1) By hearing the video you can see there is a tapping noise which is similar to the frequency of strobe light. Could you please let me know possible reasons for this tapping noise? I checked the valve clearance and found no deviation from recommended values. Only one thing I could not rectify is that one the valve spring bucket was so tight in its slot that it wasn't rotated in the slot. Might it be a reason for this tapping noise ?
2) This tapping noise goes away after engine warm up.
Your expert knowledge and experience are highly appreciated.
Youtube Links for the videos,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZZiYUMYIFc - This video is without engine warm up. you can see the tapping noise in addition to crank pulley wobble.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmYx2arfASI - This is after warm up. You can notice that the tapping noise is no more.
Long Live Autolanka...
