Was it an LUK clutch by any chance?

I couldn't answer that I'm afraid, I know frank had an input in the design of it etc. Give him a ring and he can talk you through them and the costs, he's very approachable and will answer questions to your hearts content!

Avanti Motorsport do a nice kit too.

Rocker covers are matched to the head.

Black silicone isn't standard.

There's also a little inspection window on the gearbox, there should be a line on the flywheel that lined up with the 0' mark on the gearbox.

Kind of answered your own question

My money is still on timing being out.

Yes. 100%. The aux belt fires it's way into the cam belt 9/10 times and wipes out all the valves.

You don't need to drop the subframe.

No then.

Just use a genuine one.

Depends if it has a return on yours or not

Ah, I didn't realise the engine was out,assumed you did the sump in the car. as above really,pull the caps off and have a look. (Worth doing ARP's at the same time) but also as its on the stand, engine upside down, fill the oil pump with oil and turn the engine manually, this will prime it

Wind the engine over for 5/10 seconds with the crank sensor unplugged. This will prime it as much as you need. Ultimately, if there's damage it will have already been done.

All of 20mm shorter lol. I liked my v70, but it just didn't tow as well as I wanted it to.

That's how all the cool kids roll. Ok you can see the seats and cage, but that doesn't give away the devil within :)

I've had 3 in so far with failing pumps or weak PRV's.

Crank locking pin. Basically some bell end has tried starting it with that pin still in.

My only real off. (1.30 on) My near spin :

You don't want to antisieze them otjer use they'll just work loose. Use decent studs with copper nuts and you'll be fine

You haven't specified what cylinder head, what Pistons, etc. Tbh you need to CC the head and go from there

It's usually injectors from experience.

I don't even use heat, just an impact gun with a 17mm on it and it'll free up.

Certainly points that way.

Have you pressed the fuel cut off switch in the bay?

I charge £475 + parts. That's based on it being a completely bare engine so all the ancillaries swapped etc.

Drivers front ;)

If it's not been left off and over the manifold, then usually timing related causing elevated EGT's.

I assume you've got fairly light trailers then as 1600kg isn't much of a towing weight. Personally, I've got a E46 330d which gives me an 1800kg Braked trailer weight. My trailer is 450kg. I do have to position my Clio at the back of the trailer to get the weight distribution right. Too far...
