New engine...

[Dave999]

So hopefully ill be picking up my new engine within the next week. The engine itself was owned by dan@sjm previously and now is in storage. Before the new engine goes in is there anything I should get/buy.

Ideally what i want is to do it properly with all new mounts obviously oil, filters and belts etc.

Just thinking if I'm missing anything??

Main thing to do Is gets all the belts, Dephaser and water pump done, as the engine is out there is minimal labour involved so its a lot cheaper.

Yeah already got those bits, going for ploy bushed mounts too in some areas. Just thinking while its getting done may aswell do it properly

 

[Carlv8415]

If you want to get cams then now would be the time to do it also as labour is minimal for fitting

Think its got cams

 

[Dave999]

It's already got cams

197 cams
Arp rod bolts
Matched inlets

That's basically the spec of the engine.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Bare in mind it needs to go to either myself or mike Woodford for the cam timing to be correct

 

[Carlv8415]

Oh then not much else to be done then

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

A turbo?

I'd love a turbo but I'm poor

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Same

 

[Carlv8415]

Same

Ditto

 

[Chi]

I thought if the engine has already been running that there would be no need to get timing done?? #clueless

 

[Harbinger]

^ yeah surely its already timed up?

 

[Dave999]

I thought that too

If the belts are being replaced then the 197 cams will need to be re-timed to the correct spec as they do not give there best power on the standard renault setting's.

As above, not sure mick knows the correct settings. If it helps, belts and dephaser were only done in nov last year and 10k ago.

So really they don't NEED doing yet anyway? Quite lucky that its your old engine really lol

 

[Dan@SJM]

Nah not for another 4 years!

 

[Dave999]

Wicked. As far as the engine goes everything was all good with it and that?

 

[Dan@SJM]

I would've bought it back in a heartbeat if I needed an engine. It was a proper good one. Did 200bhp on those cams and an RS2

Quality!! Yeah I'm really looking forward to getting it. Will be nice to see the difference between the 197 cams and the 428s I've got in mine at the minute
