Ive seen a lot of kits that use a replacement sump plug with a sensor built in

Down in the scrutineering bay

They are a special bolt, with a smooth larger middle section and a cupped head for the manifold side. Easier to buy a new fitting kit which comes with new gasket/bolts/springs/nuts etc for around a tenner

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Unfortunately only got use of the trailer on friday evening now - The cars painted and finished, just needs bringing home. Work starts Saturday I guess, enough time to do it before Oulton I wonder? :boring:

Yes it is, on the side of the inlet manifold. One to the side of it is the VVT Solenoid

Im not going, not got the time or money! Got a car to build, to make things worse think im only getting the shell back on Saturday now ffs.

Just follow the crowd, usually always works out that way.

Easier to get it to scrapper

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Yeah - Identical boxes and identical product numbers/printing on the belt - I knew I wasnt doing anything wrong when it wouldnt fit lol. We'll see :clown:

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Nah, thats (another) new one. Took it back after comparing it too my old belt and another new belt someone else had - all the same numbers + codes, but the one I had was 15mm ish shorter, very very odd. Took it back, swapped it...got home...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Powdercoated stuff is only coming back Thursday so engine cant to back in until at least then, lol.

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Made a bracket to go on the front of the head above the thermostat housing, but its off with the rest of the stuff getting powdercoated Nah I wont be there, sold the run-a-bout today - so I need to get the clio built back up once I have...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] All built up near enough ready to go in - New Headgasket, Cambelt, Newer Dephaser Pulley etc. Just waiting on all the mounts/covers coming back from the powdercoaters, which does not really matter yet as the shell isnt back. Inlet manifold...

Its 8 weeks away yesterday

Your's wont be making it lol. ...and Chris, ive already booked the hotel (months ago) when you said you'd probably come, and we agreed to go on a different club stand lol.

like these?

Well, still couldnt get it on no matter what was tried. Compared it to another brand new belt (same codes/markings) length wise and my one was indeed somewhat shorter (15-20mm) which would explain it not fitting. Only thing I can think of is it was a bad batch or printed up incorrectly?! Going...

Looks good, and yeah thats a Magnex Twin.

Yeah, only got the sprocket on and freely spinning, accessories pulley is off. Tensioner is pointing to the left which is how the other belt goes on fine, and im assuming is the fully slack position - I did try it in a few different positions but it didnt make any difference to how close the...

Yeah, thats how I usually do it...the old one takes a bit of a pull but always slots onto the cam 100% fine. This 'new' belt is so tight its around 10mm away from pulling onto the thread of the exhaust cam, and there is no more slack to pull on. The belt is only half on the...
