Some of you may know that i decided to remove the Engine & Gearbox Last weekend. I'm now going to look at removing the Gearbox and clutch so that i can fit the Engine onto the stand for clean up and change various parts. Ive seen on the guide that it just looks like removing around 10 bolts...

i will start stripping it down on the stand this weekend and start cleaning the block and see if there any leaks to attend to. I think i will get the cambelt replaced too whilst its out to be on the safe side

Yeah i hadnt done it before so was a learning curve. alot easier im sure if youve done it before

Thanks mate. Looking at getting an engine delivered and i can be bothered driving down then the pain of trying to get it in a van ! any ideas how much a 172 engine weighs roughly without a gearbox ?

Any good companies about and how much roughly did it cost ? Its a clio 172 engine

what about the wiring loom, ive disconnected the sensors from the block and also removed the ECU but i have the looms and fuse box relays all just above gearbox then it all seems to behind the manifold but i dont know if it can be disconnected as i cant see nothink !

where is the 13mm pinch bolt ? im struggling to find it ? do i need to take plastic arch lining out to see it ?

yeah thats the one, i'm struggling as i'm trying to do it on my own :( . i managed to do the one on the right but thr right one is a rite pig ! Think i'm going to try lowering subframe and take the whole thing out ! is a pain !!!!!!!!!!

Mick do i need to remove the subframe to get the 172 manifold off ? ive undone the nuts but obviously theres no way to slide it out top or bottom as i cant get one bolt out of fitting kit ! if i i drop the subframe does the steering rack need supporting or summit ?

I'm struggling with this ! think i may need to take the subframe off !

Just been searching and i know people drop the subframe to get a 182 manifold. Will doing this allow me to get the 172 manifold out without trying to get the other bolt out the fitting kit ?
