Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project 172 flywheel yeah, im going to have to get a new bolt anyway, 3 quid or so from renault...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project took quite a bit of force to snap it, all my weight on the breaker bar....could have been weak maybe

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Right then, heres one for you all to have a think about... Got the engine out, box off, clutch off, inlet off etc, and then into the back of the valver as said...down the factory, while later onto a pallet then onto the engine stand... Cam covers removed, spark plugs...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project engines out, box/inlet/etc etc all off.....and in the back of the valver...off to the factory to strip it down now meh :dapprove:

i loved my canon 70-200 f4L on my 350d, but it depends how much you want to spend? I got it off ebay for £300ish delivered, sold it 6 months later for £375, L series lenses hold their value very well... I was in the same situation, wanted a zoom lens as i was starting out, but just jumped in...

Just seen the post on clio16v, sounds like it should fly now!

Re: NW Rivington/Hollingworth Meet Pictures fuel_slut, valver turbo

From Snow... To Sunshine... And back to snow... Very good turnout, average pics, was freezing and couldnt really be bothered today...there they are anyway :boring:

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project bottom ends are a new thing to me, lol sump off, then just remove the bits holding the rod to the crank? and push on them? or take the crank completely out?

was he brapping with the sub'z blaring?

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread die.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project gona have to strip it down first, see whats causing it to not turn over? then go from there.....

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread brapple from the f7p y0

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project ah right yeah....technically if i remove the belt and the bottom cambelt pulley, there should be half inch of thread sticking out by the looks of it...if it hasnt stretched in the threads it should be possible to get it out with some grips?! If not il have to try a...

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread oh dear not good, lol

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yep :dapprove: yes it did, was told by the seller he heard it running before he bought it, then took it home...probably all lies now like. Ive had the sump off once, but tbh, i wouldnt know what too look for by looking at it to say either 'yes its damaged' or 'no its...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project I guess the engines coming back out then, head and sump off, and check if the crank spins, or if there are any bent valves. Do the pistons have to come out if im removing the crank (if i need to), and if they have to come out, do they need new rings?

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project thats what caused the bolt to shear off mate^ Hutchie, its not that far lol....i did 500 mile round trip for the engine itself ;)

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah, tried that earlier. i was spinning the alt and waterpump pullies by hand too, so they must be fine. basically it now seems im going to have to rip the block apart and see whats happened, ive got a bad feeling the block is fucked....

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project as maxi said, i was told the engine was fine and had been running etc, milage checked out and the cambelt/tensioners were not original, so it had been changed.... plus i didnt want to faff around with the timing on this one just yet, as ive no idea how to do it...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah true, suppose il get the engine back out over the next few days then. Would it be possible to tell if a bottom end is siezed from looking at it with the sump off (already done previously), or is it a matter of taking the crank off completely?

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah, thinking that myself, just means new headgasket/headbolts etc if i take the head off and there is nothing wrong with it. Only thing i can think is the valves may be bent, and the pistons at the top touching it and wont go any further...meaning it wont turn over...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project will have to see, cba wasting any more time on this engine if i cant even get it to turn over by hand how does the cambelt bottom pulley go onto the bottom crank, similar to the F7R? I mean if i take that thread out, is the bottom cambelt pulley going to remain in...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project aye, sheared off. ben, what did you do? stud extractor? TBH i think the engine is siezed or something, i physically cant turn it over by hand, so no wonder the starter cant...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project another project filled with win. yeah mate ive had the sump off, all looked in order

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project ok the starter has a good earth, continuity test confirms this. Had the starter off, sanded both faces (starter + box) and then refitted. Tried to crank again, solenoid just clicks, then nothing... Went to try and turn the engine over by hand (bottom crank pulley) and i...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project i see i see....will remove the starter in the morning then.....technically if i try what maxi said, jump lead from the motor to a clean part of the block, it should work as a test? if it does, clean up the block where the motor goes time...?

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project ;) which should mean there is no difference to how it was, as if the earthing points are clean the physical block dosent have to be?
