As far as I am aware my 182 engine has spun a big end shell. Getting a new engine put in next week so all good. I have decided to keep the old engine and rebuild it as a spare (Might make a forged build), Getting to the point as far as the crank is concerned is it worth buying a new one or...

Only main insurance companies will charge you extra for a non fault claim I.e Admiral. I had an accident completely not my fault and put my insurance up by £300. Was 5 months short to be able to go with Greenlight who don't charge extra for non fault claims. As far as injury is concerned, do...

I wouldn't of said that was a cheap one. Looking on eBay most of the batteries on there come with a warranty, didn't yours ?

Did you buy the battery cheap?

So Mac is only supported if your run a VM of windows. So that mean no Mac is not supported so just run a VM.

Drill it out and stick a large nut and bolt through it?

Drill them out then weld the plate back on

Oh yeah so it is, learn something new every day :) I will be interested I need to get my car booked into the garage but I busy for next couple weeks so won't be for a while yet. Thanks

Lol retarded is it Fred, not rotated by any chance ;)

Oh right fair enough, just my engine decided to break itself at 7000rpm I think it's something up top that broke (Rocker or spring) so thinking it may need a top end rebuild so might see about cams. ARP bolts may be a good investment later on. Is it a common thing for the standard bolts to snap ?

Another thing, are ARP bolts really necessary ?

Yeah I was reading about both and from what people are saying they pretty much the same just the 438 is a better idle apparently

What has been done to that! It sounds amazing ....

What happens if you start giving it high revs without remap? Out of interest?

438's it is then. Can I run just the cams for a little bit or will it need a remap straight away? Will an RS Tuner map be sufficient ?

After having a little but if engine trouble I thinking about rebuilding the top end. I decided to go for some high lift cams. The 2 main ones I have been looking at are as above, It's not massive power gains that I'm after more about better drivability. One thing I don't want is a dodgy idle...

Don't cheap out on it tho pay for all genuine parts and dephaser. So worth it once its done.

It's more important to change them due to age as they perish due to heat cycles making them brittle. My clio 182 had 54k on the clock and was changed once before.

You lot have completely lost me now :)

My 182 has the one on the right...

And me - carlv8415@gmail.com I know this thread is 2 years old but thought I would ask anyways :)

On my engine I have noticed there is an egg shape hole on the bottom of the inlet but on the rocker cover its looks like a hole should be there but it's just a flat plate. So the rocker cover breather is blanked off basically.

Any noticeable difference performance wise with different rocker cover

So all stuff that can be swapped over

Their Is always one :)

Isn't a new engine for them like £150? Why is a new engine out the question? Don't you know anyone handy with a socket set who could change the engine, it wouldn't take long as there is so much room in the bay.

Push the hub down and get the lower bolt in, tilt the hub upwards to get the top bolt lined up. Job done

May have been covered before but I couldn't find an exact answer. From what I have worked out they use the same block just have different inlets? So if I had a 736 engine it would go in a 182 if I used all my original parts off the old 738? Is that correct. Just you see just the block...

Where about's did you get the bottom end redone ?

Sounds like a plan to me :) Thank you
