    172 big valve head

    larger valves dont directly mean better low down torque in themselves. You then have to fit larger seat inserts and consider piston/valve clearance.

    182 Cam Timing Figures Needed

    do you want IO/IC/EO/EC?

    Quick rebuild question :)

    You can get gasket material spray to clean it off. Then check with a precision edge to see if its flat. If its not, a precision edge with 1200 wet&dry, be gentle and stop & check often, you dont have to do too much. Low points will be evident withing seconds, and if its flat, it will...

    wanted/needed Rear brake sensing load valve

    The cup has one, a mechanical one unlike the full fats. However it is not linked to the axle and is 'set' from the factory, in essence its not load sensing.

    Is fitting ESP and TC to my 172 feasible and would I want to?

    Depends what you want it for as there is a great difference between traction control and ESP.

    172 big valve head

    Larger valves without substantial work is useless. For a start the chambers are already highly shrouding the std valves and unless you like welding and reshaping the chambers i wouldnt bother with large valves until you need it.

    Removing V6 exhaust

    yup, prepare for a good time. Thats if your are replacing the manifolds aswell. you can do it all i situ, but you will hurt your hands and sped a long time cussing as you remove a million heat sheilds and nuts you cant see.

    V6 Trophy exhaust

    Yes and yes.

    197? How?

    no, it'll be like any other NA engine. Modern engines can touch 300bhp now, but its just alot of money.

    dot 4 or 5?

    Dot 5 is silicone, and because it is silicone it absorbs NO water, unlike hydroscopic fluids which are 4 and 5.1. The problem with silcone is that it isnt that great and water does get into the system, but instead of being homegenised through allt he fluid, it groups together in droplets, and...

    V6 Trophy exhaust

    they are STUPIDLY expensive now and i wouldnt even consider it a viable option.

    197? How?

    Put basically, the engine has been moved along the 'rpm' scale. Its point of peak efficiency has been moved to a higher rpm point, and the modifications are all there to support cylinder filling at higher rpm. The shorter inlet manifold length with a better plenham design is there to enhance...

    dot 4, as brun said, dot 5 is silicone fluid.

    straight through centre section gains

    Guys, a racing system is a different animal from a road system, or even a sports system. If you have an exhaust system which compramises of 3 silencers, then remove a centre one and replace with a peice of pipe, there are no real gains. A silencer of perforated tube and fibregass wool is...

    Competition valves

    Define 'competition' and 'steel'? The std inlet valves are already EN52B steel, and the exhausts are the same with a 214N stanless head. And the designs of both are not bad. Are you looking for all stanless valves for any particualr reason, if you are they will have to be custom made, and...

    172 Gear gaiter part number?

    He is not in the UK, 82 00 071 449 Not 100% if its for the same trim code you have, best go to the dealer with your oval plate details.

    20% Discount on Wheel alignment - Milton Keynes

    sadly clios arent castor/camber adjustable from std, and neither is rear toe. All you can adjust without buying aux components is front toe. but looks like a comprehensive service for those who can use it, and require an operator who knows what he's doing. I have to do my own alignment on...

    Denso Iridium

    'worth' having. no. There is no benefit of an iridium plug on a stock motor that already runs plat's. as for race engines, still dont see a point.

    Bottom end advice

    The std engines will go to high rpm, but will not live up there for long periods, especially in competition use. ARP bolts will not solve the problem and you will move the problem to the piston.
