As Dan has said. Squeeze oil out (I use squeeze clamps as they aren't as forceful as a vice). Crank the engine a bit.
Doing it this way allows the valve clearances to be set correctly as you can over prime them. Then you can get issues with valve clearances, compression etc.
I have had great success with bike bodies and bike carbs in the past of a few engines. Obviously bodies are required for the Clios due to the fuel injection.
I would speak to Dan about an inlet, this is his website http://www.danstengineering.co.uk/
As you doing trumpets the Weber DCOE 45...
I finally got a reply from Prima racing as to what their cam specs are. It turns out they are identical to the GT cams but only £295!!
272 degrees inlet with 11.3mm lift and 256 degrees exhaust with 10.25mm lift.
I believe they give a similar result to the Catcams 428?
Is there anything else I can do at the same time to save time and money?
I've got the following parts to fit.
Shocks + springs
Wishbones
Steering rack bushes
Front ARB and bushes
Ok cool, thanks for the reply.
The gear ratios are pretty good and with it being a 2nd car I can live with it doing 3600rpm at 70 for the better acceleration.
I made the mistake of going forced induction on my old Fiesta. Before that it was 200bhp/tonne N/A. Not a lot and yes it was frustrating on the straights but overall it was a good fun car. Then I went turbo, only a little bit more power but masses more torque and it ruined the car in all...
Just thought I'd post this in here to raise awareness of the bargain group buy for head work.
