After purchasing my first clio sport and been told it had a noisy dephaser pulley i begain to strip the engine, Found that the cams where very badly pitted and worn:- I have now purchased a 2nd hand engine and stripped it down to check condition of the cams, All is good and was removed for...

i will do once ive paid for membership

yeah, back to finding a good second hand engine.

They is loads of F4R engines on ebay but its picking a good one, I have a new dephaser pulley, Cambelt kit and aux kit to fit to my new engine plus going to fit a new clutch as well

dam, thought it was too good to be true. I either need a good head or a new engine.

dam, so no good then :(

After taking the head off my 172 and seeing that the cams are pitted and cam carriers are damaged i have decided to change the engine. I have been offered a laguna 2.0 16v engine from a 2002 for £100 with only 62k on the clock and can be heard running. I am right that the block and head are...

Right, new update, fook it i am getting a new engine. This engine had been messed around with. Just took inlet off and the ports have been grinded out. Someone said that a 2.0 luguna engine is the same. Is this correct that the lump and head are the same as this one has only done 60k and £100

I can reuse the new parts, cambelt kit ect. if it knocks it head off then yeah, i will get a new engine for it. but if it doesnt i will get as much use out of it as i can. it was a cheap car and not willing to spend £175 for a recon head as the bottom end with that miles will just go, pointless...

Ive been there before with another car, new head and then the bottom end went. It was running fine before so going to just stick it back together. putting a new head on might cause bigger problems. i might as well just but a second hand engine in

Even though it may appear to be pitted the cams, it was running spot on apart from the dephaser. It going all back together and see how it goes, if it fooks up then i will just buy a new engine, it was a project car and cost me £200 for the car a week ago with 8 months mot on it

Its got to go on, thats the only reason i am doing all of is is because the dephaser was noisy. Unless i find another cylinder head i have no choise but to rebuild it as it stands as i have to get the car running as i am moving house soon

But then i am best to get it skimmed and pressure tested, new head gasket and once that done wont be long till the bottom end goes, been there done that, might as well throw it back together and run it, then buy a second hand low mileage engine and stick that in it when its blows.

I undone the crank pulley nut before i stripped the car down. Because i wanted to double check that the crank was locked in the correct place. Its going back together as it is, and when it does decide to blow up i will just replace it with a low mileage engine. Not messing around with another...

115k, its been messed around with, i am just going to put it back together unless i find a head for around £100

Maybe because this was taken when i took the pulley off, put the pulley back on and was turned to the correct position and then locked with the correct tool.

It going back together for the time being, it was running fine apart from dephaser pulley noisy. It will get stripped back down when it fooks up

That was taken before the engine was turned on the crank and locked tdc

Crank has been locked, it will all be timed up using the correct tools.

Stripped my 172 to reseal the rocker cover, fit a new cambelt kit, dephaser and aux kit. On removing the cam cover it appears to be worn and the cams pitted...... Would it be still ok or should i replace the cover and both cams? Car was running fine apart from a noisy dephaser pulley here are...

Right, I have taken both pulleys off and taken the rocker off, I am abit worried in the condition of the carriers and cams- the car has done 115k Is it worth getting another rocker cover? Photo's attached

so only the bolt holds it in place and stops it moving around?

1st time ive ever seen it. its just mad it does not have one. ooo well at least its better to ask then going any further with it.

what a bag of shite lol, renault for you then

so your saying they is not a woodruff key in here:-

i thought that ;)

Today my mechanic has come to fit me a new cambelt kit and dephaser. After locking the crank he took the crank pulley off to make sure the tdc markings lined up, which it did but he noticed the woodruff key is missing Grrrr. I just home renault have these as i really want to get the car on the...

no wonder why they seize up then lol

make sure you get new boot seals and grease them up good and proper :-)

i need seal up the rocker cover so will have to remove it when the guy comes to sort out the dephaser pulley and cambelt so will make sure its spot on before i start it. Just thought i would say what a rubbish design the engine. No timing marks, cams held in by the rocker cover.
