Clio 172, Shogun
Hi peeps
Bought an 02 172 to use as a track car. Bought it cheap ( so I thought ) with the timing belt jumped but turns out the bottom end has gone aswell. I've got the head repaired with new valves ect but getting round to repairing the bottom end, have a 2nd hand crank coming but my question is about bearings. Am I best off using OEM big end, mains from Renault, are these up to the job of trackday use or am I better going for the likes of ACL bearings. I know it's cheaper putting a 2nd hand engine in but want to freshen this one up as opposed to buying someone else's problem
