As I understand it I can put a 172 engine into my 182 using everything standard? The only thing different is the breather plate ? Can this just be swapped with a 182 breather plate? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How many miles has this done ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha yeah I did wonder that but it cranks over fine so thought they might be okay. I’ve been so busy I haven’t had a chance to look but I guess the head will be coming off next weekend to get a better idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So a few weeks ago I was on the way down to the Nürburgring and messing about with some mates. I dropped from 5th into what I thought was 4th at the time [emoji23] turned out it was 2nd!(ouch!!). Of course the engine went bang. Now it still turns over fine but seems like it has no compression...

School boy error. Ran it dry of oil every time i went to check it i couldn’t get the bonnet open. The catch is funny on it and need to push the bonnet down whilst pulling the release handle inside the car so a teo man job ! And stupidly enough i kept forgetting when someone else was around to...

Yuo going to get a gsrage to do dephaser and bew belt and things get it set up correctly then ill fit the engine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thats the plan i think. Engine out one day and then back in the next unless i am quicker than expected at getting it out. But i dont want to rush then break something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wasnt planning on touching that myself. Ill get someone that knows what theyre doing to sort it then ill fit the block myself. Dont trust myselfto do it. I could potentially ruin another engine ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are there any good threads to help me along the way incase i get stuck ? Never done it before but would like to give it a go Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well obviously complete engine comming out and then transfer manifolds and things over to another block and fit new timing belt and tensioners. Then re fit engine. Thanks Dan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So have got my hands on a replacement engine block for my clio. Does anyone have a rough idea on the time it should tke to swap them over and put new dephaser and pulleys on. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The engine in my 182 has died and im looking for another engine to put in it. Some one has told me that the 172 engine is the same as the 182 but just has a breather plate under the inlet manifold ? Is this true ?. If so is it just a case of taking it off and then sticking the 182 manifolds...

Yup thought as much. Still hasnt moved just sat on the drive untill everyones back to work on tuesday. Im thinking of getting it rebuilt atleast then i know its all good rather than a replacement engine the same thing could end up happening again. Ive only had the car a few months. Sent from...

To be honest i only drove it for 2 miles max after it happened just to get it home. Now its just sat there until after christmas. No smoke or anything but sounds like its comming from the engine block i dont think its a pulley Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
