Yeah cheers *Cries in broken AC compressor* 😂

Fit ARP rod bolts while you're there. Could be one of the causes for letting go, especially at high rpm.

Jubilee method isn't that bad if you have a heavy duty one and preshape it. Imagine there must be a fair bit of pressure involved to lever the alternator back in place to be able to get the top bolt in.

ACF-50 is ok if you keep topping it up. XCP Rustblocker performs better in real world tests.

Not bad, but says next generation, yet they look like old models. If you want the latest, these are a little bit more - https://www.powertoolmate.co.uk/power-tools/milwaukee/cordless-powertool-kits/milwaukee-m18fpp2a3-302p-fuel-m18fpd3-combi-m18fid3-impact-twin-kit-2-x-3ah-high.htm

Get it tested or just replace. Cheap enough for a decent Bosch S4 from Tayna https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/bosch/s4001/

Not sure on ring specs, I'll see if I've got any documentation on it.

For the head bolts it's 20Nm from the middle outwards. Usually do the first 20Nm and let it settle for a bit and then recheck. Then do 180° if you haven't got a torque angle wrench.

3 times suggests it's not the sump, surely?

Check coilpack and throttle body wiring/plugs. Someone at the track will probably be able to sort it, there always a Clio about. Where are you on?

Is that a random wheel bolt on the front, or is it coming loose?

You could get that pointing straight enough by eye surely.

As if you had 3 s**t ones 😂

I'd send it back.

They'd definitely bend without the pulley locking tool 😅
