Had one do exactly this last week. Very rare but it can happen. It's a moving part afterall.

how about you take it to someone who knows tha car? you've wasted a lot of time on this now

Might make another attempt at a meet in Milton keynes then.....

Well I'd say you already are stuck ;) give me a call if you want to book it in, I can sort it for you no problem

no, it's a specialist job. I wouldn't let a maindealer touch it. Ordered my locking tools through a main dealer and they struggled to find them on the parts database, so they asked the workshop and they didn't appear to even have a set

it's a turbo remember, better potential for gains

yeeeeeeeees.......thats a side on view I drew

center hanger shouldn't have much strain on it, sounds like your exhaust isn't straight if it's ruined one that quickly

book time maybe. In reality it's an hour and a bit on an AC car, but the kit costs roughly £146

Hydraulic lifters.

dont have my CD with the manuals on with me, but i believe its 20Nm+60degrees (+/-6) but i'll check that

Bearings look perfect. I'd say it's a pretty big waste of time to do a rebuild and not replace them though. The sealer is liquid gasket. Be generous with it, and make sure you add some into the bottom corners of the block where that bearing cap fits to. This is where they ALL leak from after...

402s? you running 197 cams? I wouldn't really be too fussy about brands in a standard engine, I'd be running that on Valvoline synpower 5w40

genuine cup belt is £14.61

£35 from me. Not a genuine belt, but it doesn't need to be

quite expensive TBH

one of them's £3295 ....LOL!!

did you change the lower aux belt idler? it's not actually unusual for there to be a bit of a belt whine, the aux belt is very long and in contact with a lot of different pulleys, all with a resistance behind them

on the F4R? not necessary to go quite that far, but the lower cambelt cover (and upper to meake it easier), aux tensioner, and in turn a few bits and pieces need to come off

that looks like a pre lowering picture.....surely??? sportlines are listed as 25mm to the best of my knowledge, but i'm sure that eevry set i've fitted in the past goes lower than that
