Are these bolts angled so once removed you have to replace or can they be re-used? I think I know the answer but want to make sure, cheers

Does anyone know the standard measurements of the crank so I can measure it? Cheers

I’ve got the crank and pistons out already and to be fair for an unknown history engine its not in bad nick. Some slight score marks on the bore walls but the mains and big ends look relatively okay. As you say slight hone re-ring it and some new bearings and arp rod bolts and it should be good...

Oooh I forgot about the RS2 that could be an option. I mean 190hp would do for me, I want to lean more towards reliability than number chasing, as even 190hp with decent suspension and sticky tyres will be mega fun still. Megane pulley is on the shopping list too. First things first I need to...

Hi guys, This may be a long one. Long story short I’ve pulled the engine out of my 172 for a rebuild it’ll be going on track and I’ve been there before with crap engines that go bang, so this time I’m doing it properly. The car will also be used on the road still but won’t be a daily so...

I wouldn’t sell imo. You know the car inside out and you’d regret selling 100%.

There’s no flexi, but I have just bought a 182 manifold and link so hopefully that’ll fix the issue. Also got new engine mounts to fit when I put the engine back. I think you’re right that the engine was moving about all the mounts were shot

Morning guys so I took the engine out my 172 yesterday to do a few a bits but noticed that the exhaust manifold moves around a lot on the joint to the down pipe. It’s got all the correct fitting kit on it and it’s tight. it hasn’t been blowing since I owned the car but have had an...

As above uniroyals sound pretty perfect for your needs

Just to update replaced the sliders and noise has gone. Cheers

I’m pretty sure I’ve got a black rear seatbelt you can have, just cover postage and I’ll pack it up.

Oooh that does actually make a lot of sense. I think I’ve got a spare slider in the garage I’ll swap it out and see if it goes. Cheers guys!

Had this weird noise at the rear on my 172 for about a week now, so today I decided to Jack it up. No play in wheel bearings and everything looks tight, but if you put the handbrake on and rock the nearside rear wheel as if it was rotating I hear the knock I’ve been hearing. I’m stumped as to...

Just bought a driveshaft from them, all good from there side but they used b*****d yodel as the courier in which it took them 2 weeks to deliver.

Got to work this morning turned the car off like normal and was greeted to a knocking noise. I’m thinking maybe engine/gearbox mount? It doesn’t knock under driving or heavy acceleration just when I turn the car off! Anyone experienced this before? Cheers!

My third silver 1x2. Can’t get enough of them.

Surprised it’s taken this long as they’ve had Castrol on the side of the f1 car for a while

Just a quick clean today

Nice. Lots of love for these!

03G’s are spot on, great performance from cold and after a warm up lap are ready to go, can’t fault them.

I race an MG ZR in the MG Trophy championship, costs about £13000 a season to run over 6 round 12 races. That includes everything I need to go racing during the season; Race entries Running the car with a team Pre weekend tests Tyres Consumables Hotels Fuel for van and race car etc but...

Trying to verify my account on Coinbase with my driving license but always comes back unable to verify, anybody else had issues?

Awesome will go and see him tomorrow. Cheers

Thank you,what a good resource that is!

Anybody know where I can buy some cylinder head locating dowels for a 172 engine? I’ve lost one and it definitely had 2 to start with. Cheers ollie

Added mine with greenlight no additional cost

I’ve just PM’d you lol I couldn’t see a definitive place to be fair was in a bit of a rush so will look again tomorrow.

Got the head off today and it’s all abit rusty inside! And evidence of k seal too. Should all be okay once I’m done with it. And found a nice big piece of sealant in the oil pickup which was nice.

Certainly nothing in the history that I’ve got saying it’s been done before. Although it does worry me that it’s got a 172 breather system on it even though it’s a 182, albeit it is one of the first! Exactly this, hoping my cause of low compression is the head gasket. Ideally I’d like to do a...

Cool, cheers for your help!
