So I have to use aftermarket bearings because Renault ones are only in standard size. Nice one Renault!

Hi, I am very confused as after disassemble my 172 engine the main bearings and big end bearings are engraved with a part number that could not be found after calling Renault dealer and some colors. The big end bearings are engraved with NOIR and the main bearings are engraved with BLEU. Does...

Weld and matched 182 head to fit 197 inlet. The head was filled using Al welding rod and then ported. The ports will be finished using sand paper later.

Weld the cam cover due to shipping damaged and paint. Dissasemble the head and make a template for 197 inlet. With this template I can mark the port for the 197 inlet. It will need some weld also to be done properly. I will tap new holes and hopefully the 197 inlet will fit on the 1*2...

Without tracking the car I can't say anything. I like the setup, but more for look than performance.

Hi, The pedal is different, a bit longer travel, but the brake is better. If it worth? Well I got the calipers for nothing, just bought new o-rings, disc and pads. And bacause the pads and discs need to be replaced anyway it worth. But if they do not need to be replace, it does not worth. Keep...

Is there anyone that have that part of the manual?

Easy steps:) Thanks to @Mbeau Next will be adapting the 197 manifold to a 182 head from @Budgie Radu

Hi, I've not seen any bottom end manual for the 172 engine. Basically I need to know if the main bearing cap bolts need replacement and where I can find them or what is the part number for them because I've not seen them yet. Thanks, Radu

First parts for my engine rebuild -197 inlet, will be fitted with a lot of head work and custom gaskets -64mm throttle body to match the inlet hole. It is not Renault tb. Radu

I have just install them and need some brake in for about 100miles and I will post later.

Yes, are from grand espace, or any other Renault that uses 2 pot calipers. Bolt on without any mods. And the discs are from scenic, also bolt on without any mods.

The figures are there, but my knowledge to interpret them is...is not:(

Special for you, @Optimista

421 or 438? Sorry to ask, but I am confused because it says on website that 421 are better with itbs. And where I can find the 421 spec timing?

And what about 438 or 421?

Does 197 cams need different timing setings or can be done with standard lockers?

Need some more power than 197 cams could provide.

Hi, I've read all the topics I found here regarding the cams for a 1*2 Clio. Basically everything on Catcams cams. I am building and engine for a little track and daily. I rebuild the whole engine, keep the original pistons and rods for the standard compression and uprate the valves with...

Just to be spring weather and I will post here. Thanks

Little by little 172 cup wishbones with black bushes. I will receive a 197 inlet for my engine...so lot of work to come.

The mount on the engine side. I own a 1.2 clio and it had different engine mount.

The are different on 1.2, you need the 1.4/1.6 or 2.0 (iirc). You can get them when buying the used engine.

Hi mate, There will be lots of comments to swap the car for a 1.6 instead of engine. The best would be to find a damaged 1.6 clio and swap the engine and box, driveshafts, hubs and brakes, and engine loom.

Thank you mate! It is ok, I will check mine and if needed make corrections.

Kind of ph1 tails

The most relevant distance I need is: The distance from the engine to the injector tip. And maybe how deep the injector is in the tube (the tip). Thanks, Radu

Could you please help me with some photos? Something from that I can make some "good" measurements? Like a top picture, a side picture, not from artistic angles, and if you can by having a ruler nearby would be great. I want to build it with longer runners, yes. I will rebuild my engine and with...

I will look also there, but maybe someone here got a plenum inlet for sale and could help with some measurements. thanks, Radu

Hi, I want to build a custom plenum inlet for my 172. I've seen here some custom builds and have got some ideas, but in order to start with a good design (theoretical) I need if someone has an RS2 or JMS inlet to send me a side photo to can make an idea of the length and injector position, also...
