Cracking little car that one, gets better and better.

Clean it up first as others have said. Then check again. These cars don't have a rocker gasket, they have the cam cover sealed with a resin.

On the small end it should be offset with the longer bit upwards, if not it can tip the engine back a tad and the exhaust can knock on the anti roll bar.

Dog bone the right way up?

I have a close brother to yours Y634DTV.

There's an easier way to see if the cam timing is out, WITHOUT using timing tools and dismantling the car. Only problem is you will need to either borrow a Renault Clip machine or find a way of accurate manifold pressure measurement.

Looks good that little car..... Unit look brill! The rollcage is the one from Mark Fish's race car, last time it was in his car was at a support race in Monaco I think. It was in candy metallic red originally. My old girl (the blue mk1 hillclimb car) is here living in France with me now, also my...

:confused:

Looks good sonny! Best of luck.

Mind you looking at the photo above, the gear oil seems forwards of the selector seal. Is it leaking from the breather pipe on top of the gearbox? Also, if there is evidence of oil spraying around the bell housing (where it joins to the engine block) it maybe the oil seal of the input shaft...

If you are saying it's worse since you replaced the selector seal, then I'm guessing it's the selector seal again. They are the weakest link.

......plus, if I could afford it I'd be LMP racing!

I see your point Tony, but guessing with the pug you have more time racing than sitting in the paddock fixing the clio.

Ah Use the pug then I guess?

Wise words Russ. Fun!

Poke it in the corner, cover it up and forget about it for a while. That's what I've done with mine. Hehe!

5th gear syncro hub nut is undone.... what was the problem with the gearbox?

:dapprove:

Nice one paddy, use a renault 19 16v cambelt cover (fully plastic/lighter and no engine mount) I did this to an R 5 gt turbo with an F7P.

At the moment mate yes, but we move from our house on the 20th.

Lovely car that!

Love roadkill! Agree with the noise......but, many moons ago my first job was working for a corvette specialist in Hildenborough,kent. We had to take some cars to a show at knebworth. I thought all my numbers had come up when the guys suggested I drive the 1966 427 tri power to the show complete...

I like that !!!

Woah! "proper job".

Not bad prices here...... http://www.acwmotorsportplastics.co.uk/renault-clio-mk2-3dr.html

.....there red were blue flags (waved and stationary) for nearly two laps. The thing is, with mixed classes you really need your senses about you as the speed differential with some of these cars is massive. Glad to see the driver get out safely, he's going to be a bit sore today I guess.

Google 'Mr Trebus'.

Lol, yes. Could say that.

Morning gents! (just a quickie) I'm actually going to be moving to France soon. So CRM will be closing its doors this summer. :S
