You've got the hassle of finding a decent 100 first lol
80's are all over like a decease
i wouldn't go to say the boxes are much better, only a closed diff rather than the jc5 open ended
yes cable shift bit better but no feel for the gears ( ok I admit the amount of play in the rod shift is...
Jc5 box used on renault sport models and DCI 65/80
jr5 on 100's and TL4 equipped renaults
i know for sure the widetrack can be done 100% on a DCI 80
few of us on here done it
Wide track only works on Jc5 boxed dcis AFAIK
saying that someone on here had a 172 rep 100 , can't remember if he used spacers or managed to get the wide track on the jr5 box
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
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
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

let us know if you Need anything making, and I'll get I touch with you nearer the time for a few bits I will need ( if your breaking...
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
