Quite pleased with the tarting up I did on the engine parts ready for fitting. Also managed to get the bottom end built up with new oil pump, dipstick tube, crank seal cover, water pump, windage tray and sump. Onto the head and timing now but need to get another timing belt kit after GAZ...

Cut them to suit.

Thought you two were going halfers with this thing. No probs mate for the engine as I was just keeping it for a rainy day. Not going to make it to KH today as I've got too much on unfortunately. Let me know if you need other parts you need and I'll dee what I've got.

Engine is going to a good home I see mate! ​ Ive had this engine from new and only fed it the best of fluids so be nice to it. :p ​Look forward to seeing it in action again though so cheers!

Hope you enjoy tomorrow mate!

Got them made out of abs plastic.

They look too long to me and will fowl when you turn the wheel. Stop just at where they reach the arch liner then use a deflector like mine. ​

Looking good mate. Wish I had the skills and knowledge to do the wiring on mine I could ditch the OE ecu. With regards to the rack bushes, why have you chosen nylon?

I need new rack bushes too. Didn't realise they were that dear.

Brought them along to the Ecotune rolling road day as I thought you be there but seen as you weren't, I sold them. :rasp:

Cheers Mark! he inlet is something I have been working on for a while getting parts, working on the design, speaking to people and now finally getting the bits. I am going to trial fir it over the weekend to work out runner lengths then get it welded up next week. Fingers crossed! Cheers...

Trying to find time these days to get on with this is a nightmare! But, got the block cleaned up and painted, bottom end built up already with wossner rod and pistons, acl bearings and arp bolts throughout. Painted the block black as it tends to hide the most dirt and once this is fitted it...

Oxidisation.

Normal 2k will be fine. Inlet doesnt get that hot at all. About 60deg max.

Exactly! :sleepy:

True, but it can be a sign of a low coolant level as air heats up faster than water.

Are they new or 2nd hand. ARP recommend using a stretch gauge but if you dont have one then 42lb-ft 3 times by torqueing, slacking, torqueing, etc.

Might be able to fit bigger but this is what I use.

Pretty normal but check your levels just in case they're low on coolant.

Good stuff mate, looks like a top job too. Look forward to seeing this in action.

Got my attention but dont know the answer. Would like to though! :approve:

I've got a new dipstick tube to fit to my block. Whats best to use to seal it? Cheers

It's 225 cams he's got.

​Cheers Dan, that would be great! :D Thanks Russ, I'll let you know if required. :cheers:

Thing is, I don't have one just now. Would need to buy one and would rather not.

I won't be using vvt on my new engine and don't have the solenoid attached to the rocker cover so leaving a hole. Whats the best way to fill the hole left with no solenoid?

Depends what day you ask. :p

:lolup:

Scoff will sort you out no probs. Looks like it will be a well specced car and should be very rapid!

From what I hear the in tank swirl pot is pretty good on the Clio and issues are rare. On a scooby, anything under 1/4 tank on track you are asking for trouble.
