sadly if the problem doesnt occur when its in their hands (and sods law says it wont), then they wont be able to find the problem.
They arent normally too good at investigating things anyway.
The F4R engines come out of the factory pretty damn consistent tbh. They only carry on size of bearing shells so rotating and reciptrocating components are machined really well. Ports are CNC'd, cams are all equal, pistons only have very very small tolerance range.
All let down by the way...
For the race series renault sport were pretty adamant that no human intervention should come into play duing the engine assembly, so its all robots basically. Its a pretty basic engine and the spec is not far off the road car.......it wasnt meant to make alot of power. We all know what would...
all depends on application, peak imposed bhp, engine VE curve, ex manifold configuration.
Both will work, but as with anything on a car, it takes time, money and testing to arrive at an optimum solution.
All these exhausts will have diff silencer construction, sizing, placement and rear...
erm........rolls royce ;)
I love yank muscle, but there was a reason they had to use whopping engines in their cars.
It took a ford falcon to beat the 1.6 cortinas with 120bhp.........and even then it was only occasionally.
Then there were the ETCC days where bmw's, alfas, fords...
The S1600 is a pretty well known spec and it is not overly hard to work within the restraints of the FIA regulations, the cars have a max build cost of US$100,000 for everything.
We have a K4M powered car comming in in the second week next month to try out a few new items, so it should be...
the sealy stuff is cheaper yea, but you'll need the cam pulley locking tools aswell.
An 8mm punch can be used to lock the crank.

you can read my article for pics there.
SEcond hand units are a 50/50 thing as they do get tired with age due to contaminents on the hot wire, so hopefully it'll be a good one.
Getting yours wet has either damaged the wire itself, put dirt/contaminents on it or got inside the circutry. The hot wire is self cleaning and when you...
How did you do the cambelt without the cam locking tools previously then?
Its a fiddly affair and you need the cam locking tool, the cam pulley locking tool and the crank locking tool.
All the pulleys are friction fit, and as such if you do not loosen the cam pulleys and follow the...
A deviance of 3 degrees isnt going to do jack in the grand scheme considering you have an appaling inlet manfiold and a cylinder head that needs considerable attention to detail.
Changing cams on modern engines is always a dissapointment unless the cylinderhead and inlet manifold has an...
