Doh, only just seen this! Too late, they've been gapped now :( too small, too big?

ooffffttt.

I spoke to Engine Dynamics (the pistons supplier) today and they have recommended the below spec: Top ring: 0.35mm – 0.40mm Second ring: 0.42mm – 0.45mm Oil ring: minimum gap of 0.35mm A fair bit smaller than what the piston paperwork recommends to work with, but they are meant to be...

I need numbers man! :)

Hi all, I am in the process of building an engine for my r26... The machine shop has bored and honed the block, but have asked me to double check the ring gap size as they seem too big in their opinion. I am using Supertech low compression pistons...

Proper.

hi x86, Welcome to the Forum! Plenty of local members between Derby and sheffield (including me!) where abouts do you live? I can recommend Diamond Motors, MicKPM on the Forum. He is based in Long Eaton and is highly regarded here for any work on your Renault: http://www.diamondmotors.net/

Just let the machine shop remove them, that's what I did.

touché. Mick is a gay lord, he loves it in the bum bum x

Where was you earlier? - now you've let me make a fool of myself, giving him hope of a turbo lump :o :star:

Has it got a hole on the back, bottom centre of the block for an oil return?

I need a cheap car like this! It looks amazing.

That is also the same block as the Megane RS 225 / r26.. I believe they run the same pistons (but Laguna is slightly lower compression), but not 100% sure on that.

Woah, I actually love this car. PX for a Megane r26 with similar power / mods? :star:

Unfortunately it's a common fault on that manifold :(

Gmail.

Exacto!

I think @JoePeps claims the tax back through his business... I can remember something from a few years ago.

Worked fine on our 4K mile trip around Europe a few years ago ;) The only issue was the welds cracking due to the stiff mounting, this has been resolved by fitting rubber bobbins on the mount points iirc.

The GF's 172 is being overhauled over Christmas, will order up a set of those for it!

F4R's love abuse and mileage! #fact

Properly broken!

eurgh. I'll get a photo of the older workstations we have here #grim

Some of the machines ion our office are terrible, none of them have dust filters!

That sounds like a plan, once my block comes back from the machine shop I will pop over with it. Where in Derbyshire are you? - PM if you wish :)

hmmm... I guess the 197 crank would fit the F4K block, ala megane 225 / r26?

I'm out.

LOL! Deal.
