Thanks for clearing that up James as i did wonder what the difference was.

Cheers James. Just asking as ive noticed some pistons are marked B and some marked C with mine been C. Wanted to know what difference was. Model year perhaps? Mine is 2005 Trophy. Did the Laguna 2.0 16v use the same block?

Well returned from holiday and not the best news I had on the block machining. The damaged bore is beyond honing as it has a small hole in it caused by the melted piston and rings. Just trying to figure out my options really. A) full rebore with oversize pistons which to be honest is out of my...

It's been a few years since i had any engine work done and had a price from a guy local to me who's name has popped up many times via my mechanic mates. Are these prices the norm nowadays? Head Skim - £30 Block Skim - £40 Bore honing - £20 (£5 per bore) Chemical Wash - £10

Thanks Andy :up: I'll download it on my laptop when I get home as its not working on my phone. Probably because it's a zipped file.

Great, just let me know. I'm in Cheshire

Just wondering if anyone has this or can point me in the right direction with web links. I've hunted everywhere on the net and came up with nothing. Basically need piston rings tolerances, cranksaft bearing tolerances (mains & big ends) torque settings etc etc for when I build my engine back up...

That would be a big help if you could :up:

Yes machine shop said it will deffo hone out no problem. That lightish colour on the bore is melted alu piston and comes off with a brass scraper and local heat. Only minimal lip on the bore top too. Think it's deffo been injector/fuel pump related bud and once i have this built ill send the...

I'm not sure bud as its already in the tank when I use it but I'll find out Friday when im back in as the drum is next to it.

What I do need if anyone can point me in the right direction is torque settings for the F4R.774 engine plus crank end float measurements etc Any detailed specifications would be a massive help in the build

Haha well i certainly don't mind doing a photographic/detailed guide to building an engine (F4r.774) if the mods will allow it with me being a megane lad It's my first Renault build and im sure I may make a few mistakes along the way but there's some fantastic tech lads on here that will put me...

Yes will definately be getting the 630's mapped in as soon as its built. Seriously thinking of adding an AFR gauge to keep an eye on the fuel/air ratio. Be interesting to hear from anyone if anyone is running the 250 fuel rail and pump.

Hi Andy Thanks for your input on this. The damaged piston was Cylinder 2 so yeah near the flywheel end. I'm with you and definately think it's been a fuelling issue thats caused it. I'll be replacing the injectors with 630's for piece of mind as ive heard the OEM ones are rubbish. I'm still...
