Work fine here.

Tbh I'd run it on my personal car but on the front. A front wheel blow out is alot more controllable than a rear...

Mine was pumping oil out the breather and it was cracked ring lands. But it was pumping out and filling the catch can within 10 miles. So I rigged up a recirculating breather setup lol

Flat battery.

Get it over to mike and get him to do a data log. Do a leak down and compression test and see what you get

It's it's pressurising the crank case, it's bore related. Map wise if its dumping fuel in it can bore wash, if its running lean and detonating it'll burn out rings and crank ring lands.

You also need someone(myself or mike Woodford) to time the 197 cams up properly.

Tbh it depends how well it's been installed. I had a Clifford that took less than 10 mins to bypass with no tools. I expect it'll have single colour wiring being thatcham approved, so it's not just a case of following cables I'm afraid.

A reputable trader on here? May be worth taking it to mike Woodford to have a check on the map, if its breathing heavy in 10,000 miles there is an underlying issue.

One of the after market alarms/immobiliser is playing around

Could be rings, ring lands or a heavily worn bore. What were the ring gaps set to if you did the build? What spec is the car? Map?

Hi and welcome. Keep me in mind for your local specialist :)

Can I make the suggestion of not using the turret nut as it moves about on standard top mounts.

That sounds like something has got scared of the dark. Prepare yourself for a new engine.

Hmm we could be here a while for me... My first ph1 back in 2005 - 06 Just stripped out, buckets, exhaust, air filter and matched inlets. Did 187bhp on the stock ecu map! That ended on its roof sadly. I bought this to replace it 06-07. (I bought another ph1 16v which was needing too much...

What's the pricing of them compared to supertech?

Holy thread revival!

No worries, see you in the new year :)

Ferrera I expect. Ferrera have a bit of a checkered history on the 20vt engines. Supertech's are what ill build my engines with for both boosted clio's.

Ime when it drops a valve even at. 3k it makes a real mess, bent valves and all sorts, never ran afterwards.

You'll be fine welding it IMO. I have also used quiksteel, but on Vikki's sump after she twatted it somehow. Been there for 2k+ now and not a drop.

To add to whats been said above.. Doing 4-5 miles a day, means that the engine will never get up to temperature, this in turn causes the oil to condensate, and break down a lot easier. The engine that never warms up will also still be on the cold start enrichment map, making it more...

Nope, that'll be the syncros and bearings by the sounds of it.

It can be many. You need to find the loose one.

Sounds like a heat shield from the video.

Yeh a standard 172 would do 165 ish at the fly not wheels.

May well be a string engine, but Christ that's making more power than mine with cams and ITB's lol

I bought my cup as a non runner for £500.
