dug up an old thread. I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing any trouble (besides vibrations) with these mounts?

yep could'nt tell if right or wrongly done, but they've been given a go with a machine when done on a CNC machine the ports would be more "similiar" to eachother. If this is better than the way yours are done i do'nt really know In fact; (or edit !) : your's look pretty well done...

Marthijn (from Ijmuiden)?

hmm i might take you up on that ;)

ohwwww double bugger !!!! I would REALLY like to know about this note; changing all valves ? To respond to your comment ; timing belts seemed to have skipped from very rough gearchanges ? Rough downshifts and/or the like ? Anyway , to be sure i'm having the full cambelt + dephaser done...

^^ arrrgh long story , short version: Had a dead alternator , needed to ditch the car by the road as it was dead. Had a guy i knew from work pick up the car as i could'nt. He's a car mech. The next day i got a call from him telling that the timing was out, no compression, and with a scope...

had some probs lately and the head had needed some work done to it. When remounted, after a while i could see oil laying on top of the rockercover. The mech used the wrong camseals and it's leaking oil from there. Since this i have a "rumbling/vibrating" noise AND feel from the engine...

Re: where I could buy racing gears , final gear for clio v6 (2002) ? light weight fly ..

Hi Demi, when you give Henk the details of which Cat cams you have, he will probably have past experiences with these kind of profile cams and he should be able to start with this. With an advanced RS tunerkit you should also be able to monitor exhaust readings (for Air to fuel ratio) which...

oldie goldie thread dug up :) My engine is leaking from the camcover area ever since i had some valves replaced/head was off. I can see the oil lying on top of the cover. I have a suspicion that the mech did'nt use new camseals, or the wrong ones anyway. When oil is leaking from these...

sounds like mine a while ago, new injector fixed it. Get it on a serious (Bosch or the like) computer because it should read out as "injector fault" Snap-on sucks

I'd pay a 100 for a prooven one, no doubt. That's very acceptable money. A steel one will throw another 10kg's++ on your already front-end heavy car and increase your back-end happy-ness

Had my belts off because i seemed to have timing skipped :dead:, Bottom end okay but needed exhaust valves replaced, bummer. Friendly mechanic did the job and i asked him about these camseals, if he had'nt forgotten to renew these : "yeah, i did those too" ... I was just checking under the...

Had the car up on the bridge and it touches the subframe but all is well in place so not too worried.

A mate of mine has mounted my wishbone bushes, he said the sleeves were almost impossible to weld because of how thin the sleeves were. Do Powerflex always send the same quality sleeves i wonder ? now since a couple of days there's a nasty cracking noise from the wishbone area.. I just...

similar prob with mine and was injector

Nope, the sparkplug on cilinder four looked nasty so we switched injectors around and the problem went to the other cilinder. Busted injector found and replaced. Just left the other three in there. If it ain't broken; do'nt touch it

Did this, all four of them sprayed ! It does NOT show if one is a bit limb, inaccurate spray maybe going on or the like.. Mine was bust but still sprayed Just goes to show that this test is'nt fullproof

This is the way i went just a month ago: changed the leads, coilpack , no cure. Plugs were only 5K old (NGK). It was an injector ! btw my car has 70K on the clock. oh yeah, if the car starts up allright then forget the cranksensor

wow loved that video. i could "feel' the kick in the back by just watching it

it's just a light, f**k it. Does'nt do anything destructive/bad to your engine (management) ;this second lambdasensor-reading. Just tells you your emissions are not right. I can live with that

Motul if you want to go all out

does sound like a common dephaser prob. Cambelt job $$$ Which can be avoided by using quality oils which is changed regularly ! This seems the best way to avoid the dreaded dephaser bust

Yeah, around 90 euro's over here (without VAT)

^^ not for long.

could also be an injector, just solved it on mine. After changing the leads, coilpack and battery :( costly trouble-shooting but ah well it needed a new battery anyway !

It was a faulty injector...

My paper oem filter made made more torque, more responsive to the throttle. The Piper one i got now gives a little more top end power, sluggish on throttle response though. My vote goes to oem paper

^^ yeah but NOT two !!!!

a guy who repairs/builds these cars here in the lowlands mentioned they're alway a pain in the arse to start + once you get it going : DO"NT stop it for a good while, take it for a good run before stopping it again. I guess these cars are overfuelling generally. No help to you but wanted to...
