Sooo back together mot Tuesday yer took for a spin this engines so quhite and smooth I forgot how happy this angry little van made me.. and like it never happend 😎

Do they just press off the old and onto the new? And also do diffs from Clio 200 fit 250 meg as I’m looking at getting Meg but Dunno if it’s cup or not

I always use blackline in mk2 escort and cortina’s mega bang for buck also got one in my k20 kangoo again top notch 👍

So new engine is now back together checked all the tappets also new genuine chain kit baffled sump and nice rocker cover.. Also dug van out of storage hopefully get it together this week !! Then advertise it 🥺

I only went k20 as Clio box was effing me off 😂😂

I think piston failure or valve head fell off? oil pressure was strong it was wheel spinning in wet @75ish mph in 4th probs I was a bit harsh 🙈 obv Mexico my brother did same in his ep3 and that was piston only as his valves were intact rods still intact just bent 😂😂

Soo finally picked up a 60k miles k20a2 ouch!!! I was gunner do a k24 build but sadly it’s got to go to free up fun tokens for my next one (ph1 172) I dug out my old engine I needed sump off it and I pulled oil pump off too and eff me there’s been a party in the sump as expected 😂 But anyway...

That’s Soo cool twingos are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.. see the LY one on that vid is that stock colour?

Cheers mate yer glad I didn’t have cadwell booked for Tuesday 😂 forgot to book it fortunately and cheers mate 👍

I haven’t tbf I might make one about it soon and yes yellow manual ain’t very common but then again stock 850t5s ain’t anymore !

Yer I kno was meant to be taking it to pod in a couple of weeks least it did it now!!

I think it’s piston failure as all the valve look in place just pent as the springs still compressed Like the heads still attached to pull head it’s engine out so may pull it to see if head is salvageable🙈 Yer 🤞lol and should be strong if forged!! No more issues like this!! Cheers again

Soo a sad update.. couple of nights ago was coming home from work it was raining so traction didn’t exist 🙈 so was wheel spinning through the gears into 4th and then it finally bogged got grip and pop!! I managed to coast up the first slip road and yer towed it back to my parent as their house...

mad I see one in Norfolk the other day was pulling a trailer with trees on it or somthing like that which I thought was random 😂

I’m not sadly mate and they got a little one way valve which sometimes fails and has it been mapped yet? Will it run at all when up to temp

That’s a pain!! on the skunk mani have you blanked all vac ports off underneath? You tried squirting with brake cleaner round inlet while running to see if engine note change ?

Yeh mate really common for them to seize.. soak with wd40👌

Are you running standard ep3 idle control valve as mine was seized was a b*****d on idle And mine sounded like it had a air leak!!!

Hunting badly ?

Very nice mate!!! Any track time planned yet?

Heading for Norwich I was in kangoo👍

Few little jobs done firstly when I first put rocker cover on I put bits of sealer whe the joins were but I had to whip rover cover off and when I re fitted I didn’t seal again as I was rushing and leaked like a siv so re sealed that!! and also the shifter got a bit of slop and gear changes...

Cheers yer mate good fun and sadly no onboards but few passes I’ll try upload..
