Yupp normal, only solid top mounts will sit flush ran mine like that for 2years without an issue

They nearly do, was reading up earlier. 20mm pin, 47mm big end , 123mm center to center Don't bother me anyhow, I've got the rods on order. anybody intrested I'm where I getting the done, Fardon engineering , specialists in custom built engines

im driving lazy torque style, blowing boost hoses off for fun now lol , and I aint even near autotech HQ if it goes tits up :o

Am I right in thinking the turbo 5's (1.4 ) run the same spec rods as the DCI, ie length, big end small end the same?

26mm wrist pin type are cheaper aswell :S

Are those Mahle pistons actually better than the standards? If they are , I might aswell get them to go with the rod seems as they're only 442£ for the set of pistons

Shame really :( aye, my engine in my dci now has 150k on it lol. Well rebuilt with new gaskets and bearing

Get a second hand engine and throw it in, cheap enough fix rather than spunking out on a new car

He had a van push water up over his windscreen so I'd hazard a guess we're all fine with the airfeed in standar location, aslong as the water level doesn't go over the bottom grill height ( I've relocated mine to point at the top grill near the alternator

On another term, what's the size of the 1.5 rod at the widest point ? Trying to see if the newer 1.5s have a bigger beefy rod

Any info?

Still have a Delphi common rail pump on the engine? Would be good to know if someone fitted a mk3 engine with the Siemens/Bosch pump to a mk2? glad you got it sorted

lock it all up again, detension belt, slack three bolts off, retension and then do them back up. turn over by had a few full rotations to make sure your not hitting piston on valves. re lock again to check. might be worth getting the timing specs for the later 1.5's with adjustable pulleys

i'd be asking what else has been bodged if that's like that lol

your going to have to take the rocker cover off and set it with a gauage. @Dan@SMJ

bit hard to get the wrong slot on the crank? im sure the times ive done it, the lock pin will only go in one lock crank at TDC, cam lock at TDC pump alligned to the top bolt on fuel pump ( pump sprocket has a arrow on it) first time i had a go, i had taken an injector out of cylinder one (...
