Not sure how to pm, do i

Possibly but then there's no satisfaction in getting someone to do it for me and I'm not learning anything by it either which to be honest is the whole point

OK cheers. May get confusing a bit as I'm lifting my engine out but that's pretty much what I needed

I appreciate all the help. And I'm sure everyone has their own way of doing this and as I have never done one before, I will be taking everyone's advice and applying it as I see its needed. I'm sure all will come to light as I start taking things apart :weary: You may well see a rolling shell...

Oh thanks for that, that would be extremely useful. How do I pm?? Like I said I'm new to forums completely so I'm not sure how to. And yes I had a quick look on google at the rocker cover replacement and it said about locking the crank and cams but there's not a great deal of spare rooms for...

Hi I am new to this forum, so first of hi to all. I have recently purchased a Clio 172 which I plan on using for track days. Unfortionatly there is a leak from the rocker cover, which I am led to believe to be a common fault. After reading a bit of google I think my best option is, engine out...
