great project just read all 13 pages

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project me too but the bores looked ok in the pics...couldn't see signs of oil starvation on the bores.. just thought it might save 100 notes for him...if there in good nick..

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project place a ring in the bore once removed from a piston and measure the ring end gaps with feeler gauges..not sure on the gap....stan or danny might know

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project can't see you would new new rings have they been measured yet... i would rebuild an have a new bottom end...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project can't F4 cranks be reground then..using F7 shells if need be..

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah sounds like you might have a main fault...can't remember the torque figures for the crank only to turn..will see if i can find some.. plus if the middle three show nothing have the five off..

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project does the bottom end turn over with out the head attached easily enough...do the cams turn easily enough with no belts on..etc.. does it only get stiff when assembled as one unit...

thats the bit really what to see this new swivel hub and strut arrangement please see if it can be retro fitted in some way.. thanks mate

no mate but i will now...thanks...

the front suspension on this motor.. can i see some photos and specs please if any one has some... thanks

i'd buy the frs as its a better starting point for further mods...plus it has a warranty.. and its not about peak power but also the spread of torque..

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project hi mate...as its now out and ok i would be checking the clutch flywheel gearbox over in the case the problem with it not turning lies here somewhere...stuck in gear mis-alignment etc..just to be on the safe side really after all your effort..

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project not on this one its not..

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project i would have the head of as if the timings has slipped your going to need to check the valves anyway

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project matteh has done a few of these as well as stan...new about the odd timing set up but never had the pleasure yet..

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project whip the head off...if its turns then using the flywheel then most likely valve contact stopping it..if not either seized pistons or crank..then you have to remove the rods and pistons one at a time until you either find the culprit or remove them all and means the crank...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project easy with hindsight...if its ain't broke don't fix it.. this may be broke though..

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project difficult mate really could be a seized bottom end or as you say piston/valve contact.. i would remove the head at least to start if it was mine..then you can inspect it and see..that way at least you will have a better idea

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah but will stay on without the bolt but won't run without it..

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah just keyed in place and held on with the bottom pulley i think...iirc..not done a lot on F4R's..but its should stay in place anyway without the bolt..but you might need the head removing to check way it won't turn over by hand..

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project need to pull it out first...then you should drill the crank bolt and either stud extractor or weld a smaller bolt to it..and wind it out.. sorry to hear about this mate...gutted for you...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project no...solenoid is clicking so sounds like its working...try earthing the starter body with a jump lead..if not remove it and bench test..

silly loud exhausts and fake turbo whistle noise maker things yeah mines got them too...

Try hic

as tight as its goes without swinging on it..

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah there hall effect sensors iirc

can you rotate these on the later models clio like you can on the early models

i would never run spacers without the hub centre as it then relys on the wheel bolts only..something it was never designed to do...

no difference.
