No-one? Just trying to gather some bits/tools for the job

As above, what are the correct socket sizes for the big ends and mains on a Ph2 172 F4R? Torx E...? Tried to search but came back with all sorts of random bolt questions lol :dapprove: Thanks in advance :approve:

Oh ok! Soooo, changing the heads over would be an option?

But I could use the 172 rocker cover and obviously cams onto the 182 head? And obviously the 172 plenum yes?

Sorry forgot to mention, they'd both be Phase 2 ;)

THREAD RESSURECTION :) A simple question, so apart from the above things like manifolds etc, the bare engine is EXACTLY the same as the 172? i.e. would fit in place of a knackered 172 engine, using all the 172 ancillaries/exhaust/manifold/mounts etc?

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! That was my thinking too regarding if 1 is heavily damaged, chances are the rest wont be far behind so they'd all need doing, and thats assuming the crank isnt goosed :( Maybe another engine would be the best idea given the time and cost it would take to...

Not inspected them thoroughly but there was nothing obvious, could see faint and even honing marks on all 4, thats all.

Following on from my knocking engine thread..... I've now removed the head and found no damage to either valves, piston crowns, cams etc etc, but it would seem the bottom end is shot :( Cyl 3 which showed a low compression (120psi) is a bit oily (although I did put a little oil down only this...

Doesnt seem like anyone's really following this but hey ho, update.... Got my timing tools from renault today so thought great I can crack on and get the head off......NO!! Fitted the locking tools after pinning the crank and undid the dephaser pulley, tensioner etc etc. Then went to do the...

Ok, fair point makes sense ;)

No probs! For the crank pin, you could just use a normal 8mm pin punch or even the other end of an 8mm drill!

Oops, didnt notice straight away :( lol

Have a look here ;) http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showpost.php?p=5733951&postcount=34 These are all +VAT as I phoned up Renault the other day and the last one is now £41.18 Where are you? As I'll be ordering some this week

Cheers bud, Pm'd you earlier about it ;) Anyone got any other input? Any help would be great...

Found the part numbers etc :P Bit of a development.... Ive removed all the stuff that needs to come off except cam belt. Gonna have to order the tools from renault, unless anyone local wants to lend/rent them to me ;) Thought I'd do a compression test and sure enough somethings up. 1. 180~ psi...

I tried a few of them and only Woolworths worked for me mate, give that a try!

Also, has anyone got the part numbers for said tools? And/or pictures? Specifically the cam locking one, thanks

Its definately more than a "tick" and is more central on the engine. I'll obviously be checking it though ;) Ok, simple as that! Is it because they're alot stronger than the generic ones? Needed for undoing the cam pulleys as the others just bend?

C.J., I ordered mine @ around 1am on Saturday morning, and they arrived today :) Checked my transaction history and the refund was dated the 6/4/10!
