Stolen from chip: That's what it should look like.

It does, but stray bits of wire brush can drop into the bore/water jacket etc. I wouldn't.

Gasket scraper. They use a Stanley blade to scrape it all off. It's a time consuming job mind! Don't use sand paper or anything abrasive on the block as the dust/scrapings will drop down between the bore and the pistons and score the bore. I have one of these...

You need to clean the faces to a shiney/bare metal finish. Triangles are the coolant jacket.

Looks average for a car with a HGF. Get cleaning.

Oil and filter should be included if the dephaser has been changed. I include the water pump and coolant for £600...

Can't be optimistic, ktec rollers are very accurate apparently ;) Although it did 173 on my favoured rolling road, yet did 187 at ktec with nothing being changed...

Lol I could hear it popping through the cat after I'd corrected it all.

I think if you put your decat back on it'll feel better. Felt nice to me! Properly died on its arse before!

Ron's video would be better to watch IMO.

A12 is Ron's area too iirc?

Just quoting to prevent an edit.. You should be fine on those, nothing majorly stressful for the motor.

Ah he's excellent, very knowledgable!

Cheeky edit!

Where about is this drive from and to? Just so we can gauge additional load on the engine from hills etc

1. No 2. Inlet gasket, the cam cover is siliconed 3. Yes 4. Highly recommend as they don't like high rpm, ARP's help this. 5. If brand new, start up and run @2000rpm for 10 minutes. Cam cover bolts aren't tight atall, 10-15lb-ft iirc.

I do find it funny how your more worried about your engine going bang than your licence/job/prison. They'll live up there happily, go knock yourself out.

Well had a few spare minutes at the weekend, so decided to just bung the locking tools in and see if I'd gotten away with murder. I hadn't. No compression atall. Ah well, nothing ventured nothing gained. Whilst stripping it down I've found a few quite worrying bodges, which of course will...

Tbh I can't remember. Been a such a long time since I've worked on anything other than a 172/182!

Basic Tools required for Renault's: 8, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, 19, 21. Torx bits, and female torx.

I think it's e16... Tbh if your doing your own stuff it's worth just buying a set.

Bigger than that I think.

Que the groundforce music!

Yes that's right.

Are you talking about the RS2 manifold?

Stbdard fitment due to the lack of spare wheel to hold the carpet In shape.

I do work weekends. This weekend Im off however.

Top dead centre.

And TDC It before removal. Makes it easier for refitting.

I can indeed. I also have CLiP too, so will be able to read the actually fault codes and see what the ecu is doing/seeing.
