it'll be fine. Ive run std (std 172, NOT the smaller F7P) clutches on NA cars making good power/torque. One NA mk1 is making 249bhp and 209lb.ft and its fine. Though it has recently blown the 'box at Pod!!

lol try "engine main bearing cap bolts"? cant see how they wouldnt know tbh, all they have to do is open the engine section on their software.

what are you asking for :)

Buy 1 std one and see if the used ones have permanently stretched? Shouldnt need replacing though.

BHP doesnt come into it. Its torque which causes slippage, and kills 'boxes.

What torque was with the 280bhp though? It depends on maintenance and use. They definately arent the best boxes in the world. If you still have the original renault oil, or slam every gear change, you will eventually get problems. If you do alot of SQM you will eventually get problems.

639.41+vat is the retail price. no one should be doing them cheap, hence RETAIL prices set-out in the catalogue supplied to traders. If you havnt sorted anything already, email me at info@ap-developments.com.

as for ring end gaps, Total Seal might be the best people to ask :)

oh and ACL bearings always seem to measure up thinner than they quote, so i'd be very suprised if you have a 2thou on a std journal, especially if its going to need a micro-polish.

Its WOSSNER!! the box is right in front of you!!!!! looking sexual. how come you went for total seal rings instead of the ones Wossner supply?

yeah from a ph1 clio 16v. Ive got a couple if you need one.

Ive got Emerald maps if needed...

LMAO!!

I never said it was, what I said was from experience, with forged pistons, you have about 8mm of clearance at TDC. Also based on experience is that fact that whilst lift accln is high around tdc, on the cams he is talking about i dont think its anywhere near enough to cause issues around tdc...

You will have more clearance around tdc with the high comp pistons... On an F7R its about 8mm with high comps, and about 3-3.5mm with standard! Are you sure you wont have enough clearance.. Besides, you could just back the timing off slightly.

I'd be suprised if they would to be honest. Worth asking though. As for it not being hard, thats relative, it would be very hard for a first timer to get them right.

Brave, working with exposed inlet ports :p

Its Wossner, not woosner!!!! You use a piston ring filer, and feeler gauge. You need to install them to determine the ammount removed, 83mm is the diameter, not the circumference. One of the most satisfying jobs when building an engine. Takes alot (ALOT) of practice to do it right. This area...

i'll give you £50 for it.

I love graphogen :) what do you use?

so do you put it on rings/bores?

yes i can read, i know what it says. bearings, cams, rods etc yes, but dont put it on the bores/rings/pistons, the rings wont bed in nice.

runs less?? also DONT put it on rings/bores/pistons as per the advert!!!!!!

which lol

Graphogen is the boy to use.

for a sprung paddle clutch they are that price ^^

Theres nothing wrong with decking the block to tighten up the squish clearance...works nicely, esp if you clean the block properly! Of course, you need to have a proper measure up to determine what you are playing with, no point in just handing a bare block to a machine shop and saying deck...

have u taken the retaining plate off from inside the bell housing? with that and all the bolts off it should pry apart.

Tilt you head as you turn take a corner?
