Will consider swaps/part exchanges, cash either way.

If I am offered more than my credit card bill is I will let it go. I am also getting together all the tools needed to fix the car which I can supply at cost price. It is now on ebay for 5750 ono or on here for cliosporters at 5000.

Makes sense now Fred, just want to make sure I understand every little bit of the job. Studying the renault cambelt guide at the moment. Might have more questions on the way!

I was wondering how the cam pulleys are kept in the correct phase relative to each other? If you get the teeth slightly out of phase and have some slack of the timing belt between the pulleys at the top then once the locking tools are remove the pulleys will take up the slack and rotate away...

I have a budget. If they cost way more than the cost of me redoing the head a few times then I will stick with standard valves. I bet they weren't cheap if Ben was looking at buying them.

thanks guys. :-) Keep the tips coming! Got the horse shoe ( a lazer one ) just worried it might not be up to the job of holding on to the cam shafts without bending when i remove/refit the pulleys.

ah yes. Was planning on removing the thermostat housing. Sounds like you learnt from experience? lol. There are loads of special tools needed in the manuals. I guess i wont need the seal fitting tools or the dephaser solenoid one? The camshaft locking tool is definitely needed then. If...

I will write a guide after I have done the job as long as it all goes well.;) Do I need to remove the pulleys from the camshafts when removing them? I was wondering if there were any seals behind the pulleys that you need to get to when refitting the cam shafts.

go help me when i have to torque up the headbolts....

thought it was 205Nm. might be way off though.

I'm getting a headache.lol. I'm now paranoid that my "private" parking space is not technically off the road.

It's sorned in a private parking area. But to get any type of insurance I need tax and mot.....grrr. I need a garage.

Can you get uprated valves for the F4R? As I am getting the head off thought I may as well explore upgrading the components.

looks like a dude hiding the salami.

I need to insure my car while i repair it. Does anyone know which companies to go for? Greenlight won't insure it as it wont be road legal.:rolleyes:

No idea what i will need for sure until the head is off. I am guessing i damaged the exhaust valves due to overheating/overboosting so may have damaged over stuff too.

cheers Fred I'll have a look for them. Any idea if I should get the head skimmed? If the head gasket has gone I will get it done, but if not is there any point?

get a flexi funnel its a piece of pee then.

I will offer £350 posted.

I go through about £80 worth of nitrogen a day a work, might stick some in my tyres.....they won't miss any.

lol. didnt mean that, was just referring to lack of passenger seat.

ditched the girlfriend by the looks of things.

Yep, declared it sorn now. Cost about £250, will sell for £150. I know, but tbh I am trying really hard to clear my debts at the moment. I am only a few months away from clearing the lot so I have stopped myself having any major spends. At the moment the car is costing me nothing until the...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380157839982 still not desperate to sell yet, but insurance is due for renewal next month, could negotiate a good price. If not I am stripping it and repairing it to turn into a proper toy.

yep. done it loads of times on my own.

save your money. spend it on cheap hose.

What he said. Seriously though you are better off spending it on McCains. Hardly worth the effort and money for a few horses.
