Both pulleys were loose had about 3mm clearance from the nut/bolt. Ive got the arrow and notch closer together now but the tab is still pointing at 1-2oclock. I've tried bolt old and new tensioners/belts and they have all done the same. I'm wondering if the head was skimmed at ALD when the head...

Tried an old tensioner too and it's doing the same so I'm just going to put the new stuff back on and hope for the best I guess

Just swapped the belt for my old one and the two points on the tensioner are moving the same as before. I'm guessing that the tensioner is faulty?

I've tensioned it in the 12 o'clock position but the arrows don't match up, I assume this is wrong

Yeah it was brand new from Renault wolverhampton. The little tab in the slot in the head. also found this! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?628275-Should-my-Clio-200-sound-like-this-Video-included

Hi guys, looking for some reassurance. I've just done my timing belt and it seems that to two points it says to aline get close to each other, then it runs out of travel on the cam and returns back to loose again. The pin is definitely in the slot on the back of it. I've got the two points as...

Thanks guys! thats what I wanted to know.

Does this mean i should do the studs up to 18Nm too?

haha, just noticed my spelling in the title. I have had a look through there but couldn't see anything.

Does anyone know the torque figures for the following studs in the F4R cylinder head : Exhaust manifold studs Timing belt pulley studs Should I torque them up to slightly more than the nuts going onto them or the same? Thanks

I plan on fitting one of these, they don't half create some loud bangs on the limiter!

I'm up for it!

A friend of mine just got a 3 with a broken engine. Built it up over the last 6 months forging it and what not, took me out the other day and wow! Definitely plenty of torque, I think he said he was running it in at 300bhp then see what it will go to, don't think it's a stock turbo. Definitly...

All sorted now?

I certainly am, think I'll have to book it in for a map. Cheers Andy, couldn't pm me your number could you to sort out a date to get belt done could you?

Hey, I was going to update it during the week to say I got my head back from @ALD, but I left it till now cause I've done more. Got the head back on Thursday, and what a beautiful piece of workman ship. I cant believe how big the exhaust ports are now compared to the old ones. The knife...

Got any pictures of it in the car?

Also dash dimmer for those who have xenon headlights

Wilkinsons sell galvanized garden wire, I just used that to tie the ends, metal tie wraps were a bit pricey.

Once it's back on the road and running, I'll get it on the dyno and check how it's running. If it needs a map ill get it done.

This is is how I felt after 5 minutes! But soldiered on, if not you could try zircotec coating.

Cannot wait! I expect yours is pretty damn nippy then! Not sure if I'm going to need a remap when it's back together, it's currently on a standard map, was going to go for and rs tuner 98ron. But I'm thinking to get the most I'll probably need to go to rs tuning for a live map. Just...

I've seen this car in person. It's not too far down the road from me. The quality of the workman ship seems to lack quality in some area (i.e shabby welding and poor paint finish, but it's a 1.2 clio with 2 bike engines in the back. I would imagine for the money who'd bother buying something...

ARP Rod bolts and refit a clean sump.

I've had a 1lt k11 micra for over a month now, I can't wait to get my 172 back on the road.

Sinus are proper single piece. When I emailed them last month they wanted $150 per valve! If Danny can get them for that price seems well worth it. I ended up with supertechs from Roland. ktec stock supertechs but £££££££ more than ED I think.

Who was the mapper then?

Go take it for a proper drive and enjoy it!

Just had a check of mine, looks to drop 5-7 lbft before rising again, the scaling on the graph you posted is similar however the peak torque after is a lot more than mine. Has the OP's engine got hotter cams by any chance? For ref.

From memory my standard 172 had a dip around that rpm.
