Hey @gambit its all done and up and running, I left the 182 injectors on and have done about 200-250 miles on the engine so far and all Seems good and the noise is addictive and I’ve not even put any load on it yet so am excited to see what it makes next month at mapping defiantly need to mop my...

@Mbeau with the coolant bottle did you use the original cap ? I’ve heard story’s of them not sealing but don’t want to pay £50 for a Renault one 😂

Another thing when the New engine is fitted when it comes to starting it up do you think I should be using running in oil ? My other concern Is starting the car and letting it run without having the ECU mapped to the new pistons ,cams and injectors do you believe I could probably leave the 182...

Amazing cheers mate

So engine is now pretty much built up and onto the last final pieces, I’m looking for some advice/opinions, the spec is as follows 197 pistons, 197 cams ,Cat cam valve springs in a 182 head now Would you run 197 spark plugs pfr7z-tg or 182 ones pfr6e-10 ? and I’m looking to up rate...

So spent a few hours this evening stripping the head off and down and pulling the pistons out to be greeted by this once the rocker was off few people have said not to worry about it as it’s not near the cam seal or any oil or water ways, not sure how I feel about it what’s people’s opinions ?

Yer I’m now finding out it spirals. And after removing the crank I’ve now found piston 2 has either spun a shell or something as the bearing has thinned out by 0.4mm and the cranks is 0.3mm smaller then the other 3. So piston 1,3,4 are 48mm and piston 2 is 47.7 so I’m going to have to get the...

@plees amazing ill be in contact mate.

@plees ill get a price from the engine shop when they put it through the parts washer and get them cleaned up. don’t suppose anyone has a contact for renting some cambelt tools and a 197 cam timing tool ?

@plees I’ve already got all the parts to make the 182/197 hybrid engine I just don’t want to waste unnecessary money on head skimming and stuff if I don’t need to as a £800-£1000 Engine build soon spirals into £1500 or even £2000 I just want a rebuilt fresh engine and something reliable. i...

@bozothenutter. This is what was quoted for the£ gasflowed cylinder head work is around £550 which includes, Fully stripped and cleaned, pressure test x2 (before and after machining work), reface (light skim), inlet and exhaust ports fully gasflowed, valve seats cut with 3 angles, valve guides...

Hi guys and girls this is going to be a bit long winded so bear with me, so I’ve got a spare engine I’m planning on taking apart and refreshing/rebuilding I’m looking to just go for reliability not big power so something like 197 cams with 197 valve springs,new piston rings, valves re seated...

Just had a search cracking idea cheers for that

So I have a oil catch can with two an10 outlets which is fine but when it comes to connecting it to the engine as most are aware there’s only a 90 degree elbow which the pipe normally just slips over. has any one got any ideas how I could do something so I could Connect a an10 connector to the...

If you could take a pic and let me know would be handy cheers pal

I’ll have a looks and see if I can make a bit more room

It’s a coilovers Type rear unit but I’ll try the middle mount. Any idea where to get a poly Middle mount ?

@bozothenutter Rear 2 are brand new Ktec style mounts middle one is a standard one but is a little bit springy might try ordering a new middle one and see if that helps

So I fitted some gaz gha coilovers yesterday but now it’s lowered I’m finding the exhaust is touching and knocking on the rear beam when going over speed bumps and stuff. Has anyone ever come up with a solution to stop this ? I thought about putting someone on the beam so it’s not metal on...

I have the same and it's fully tensioned and is still a little too loose for my liking

I changed my aux belt on my pure motorsport delete kit and used the recommended belt with item number ending in '1310' now it's a little to big and doesn't tension properly does anyone know the code to the belt size down from this? ​Cheers Dan

I had this, turned out to be rusty connectors on the rear lamps took then off cleaned them and put some WD40 on them and they been fine ever since

ok ill try that just picked up a fuel rail and 4 injectors for a steal, so just going to replace all 4 and see what happens

now you say it back like that i feel stupid and crazy :banghead: cheers danny ill have a check tomorow, any particular way you advise to check or just take out and replace one buy one ?
