Ceramic coating or for even longer lasting, get them lacquered at a paint shop.

Make sure you get them from a Milwaukee dealer otherwise they won't honour the warranty.

Headlight polish and that would look mint, Paul! Grinspeed are good as well, they set my Clio up twice now and it's felt the best it's ever been.

If you can find an engine that's had belts done recently, it shouldn't be too costly to swap over. Even i can get an engine out of these in half a day.

If everything about the car was mint, bodywork and mechanical, i would probably get it repaired. But if it's just average then you may as well just buy another car.

Is it still running the standard oil cooler/heater that works off coolant? Probably worth running an aftermarket oil cooler.

Has the cambelt gone? That would be the first thing to check. Not sure why they didn't try and turn it over by hand via the crank pulley bolt, it's easy enough with the spark plugs out. When you say it broke down, how do you mean? Just cut out or went with a bit of a noise?

What temps are you getting?

They probably saw the spring was loose because of the gap difference and thought "this must be wrong they don't fit"

That one on Facebook the other day had 1mm or nearly 40 thou skimmed off 😂 Crazy.

Coil pack or HT leads?

Not sure tbh just a theory. Yours will run hotter than mine with it being turbo'd, but I would think a 19 row cooler should take care of that, decent sized cooler really.

I got to 124°c on an evening session at Donington the other week. Motorway driving it sees 90-93°c. Mine is in the sandwich plate so it's seeing the operating temperature. Yours might be heat soaking in the sump?

Pretty much THE guy for Motec tuning.

Wouldn't like to pay Shane T prices to tune a Motec 😂

I think their new Nexus R5 will do anything, it's a pdm and ecu in one. It's $$$$ though. Yeah you seem to be good at ECUs 😂 Didn't the guy from Haltech start Adaptronic?

What about Haltech? Australian made 💪🏻

It's not a bad price really.

The welding process should provide all the heat needed. Just noticed you're named after a thread type 😂

Aren't these 240 spec engines around £10k?

Never really checked mine. The cooling fan should come on around the 98-100°c mark. The intake temp will be heat soak so I wouldn't worry about that.

I'm sure you can get aluminium polish to sort the calipers. Use a rubber mallet/plastic deadblow hammer to t**t the spacers, they'll come off.

Yeah does sound like a cold fusion.

Are you using a nut and welding up the inside? You said something about using a bolt. That won't have enough surface area just welded around the outside like that. Need a nut with the same internal diameter of the bolt M12 is it?

You might be able to get enough weld on it if you slow the wire feed rate down and also stay in one place a bit longer. But yeah, 90amp is about only good for sheet metal work really.

Yeah you'll need like 180-200 amps really to get some heat into it.

Not welding it enough or hot enough. What amps are you doing it at?

Ahh right. That's just a plastic spacer to stop metal to metal contact.

The pictures from Kam clearly show they fit though?

@Russ Rallye had one I think?
