Old exhaust to the cobra exhaust fitted

I’ve read up on some reviews and all positive but not one said about Clio 182 as all reviews are 197 on

Will update on when fitted with before and after but will hands down be better than the one fitted, twin can type at the moment and sit very different and different lengths but sounds ok lol

Or above lol

This is it here and has non res centre section

Evening guys, I’ve recently purchased a cobra sport exhaust for my 182. I am struggling to find any info on these exhausts and was wondering if anyone knows more. Been told by a few people that one of the better exhausts to get but rocking horse s#%t and come up very rarely. build design on it...

Hi guys. What’s the best way to remove the engine at home On driveway as done full top end rebuild With uprated springs and valves and new dephaser and all followers done too and found that my problem is the bottom end with rod knock from a failed injector causing detonation and gone dry.

Post update. Done followers and dephaser and found that a injector has completely failed and gone dry and Caused rod knock so I think it’s done the big end and main bearings. crank is coming out and having bearings done

When they was originally refitted into the engine they was left out a few months and then soaked in oil for 10 minutes prior to placing them back in. Tonight I was told to put in a vice and any that are ok shouldn’t be able to squash that easy and the failed ones will release the oil inside. My...

Post update done the dephaser and still a problem with top end noise and rattling. Rocker cover off and all followers seem ok but does anyone know if they are supposed to go back to a solid state after testing them

Thanks for your input tonight @NorthloopCup and the others that commented, will update over the weekend

Yeah maybe in the future for me lol, had a fiesta xr2 years back on Weber’s and can’t beat that noise and always wanted something more current with itbs since. Nearly done it on my ph1 19 16v some years ago but had kids and put them first. And scrapped the ph1 lol

Thanks and Few little stone chips which is expected and a few minor parking dents but getting all sorted at some point in the near future.

Oh nice and looked at pms solid lifters but wouldn’t do them until I do cams and some other engine work. What I thought was the uprated springs might have caused one or a few to fail due to them kicking back slightly faster and them not being used to it

115,000 lol. I got it at 95k and done oil changes every 5k and I’ve looked after it. A fellow member on here once owned it and seemed to look after it but can’t say the owner after him who I got it from looked after it, I’ve had it 3 years now and never let me down apart from injectors once

Haha fair play, only use it for meets and family myself. Will say that when engine was first started after the rebuild the tappets took about 15 seconds to settle back in and the noise is almost identical to it

Love these engines but what a pain to take the rocker cover off lol, will lock cams etc and get it stripped down tomo evening or Saturday morning to have a look. If you follow me on insta then I can send the video I posted on here, didn’t think it would work. zakkyboy_182

800 miles sorry, for some reason autocorrect changed it to 600

Car was running perfect for about 600 miles and then the tapping noise started on a short journey out Sunday. So when the timing was set after fitting the springs it was done with cam lock tool and pin with sump off. I’ve took cam caps off to make sure the the belt hadn’t slipped a tooth and...

I have checked the timing on cams and it’s sitting spot on. Not checked the crank timing yet as doing this Saturday morning

Think one video posted twice, that’s from cold start on it too

My worry is the crank pulley has had a slight slip and the valves are hitting pistons, had a camera down the spark plug holes and can’t see any marks or damage, when this happened the car started running lumpy too so wanted to know if anyone had lifter problems and wether it caused the engine to...

They sound so loud and engine sounds diesel.

With them ^*

Not had the rocker off yet as it happened Sunday. So hoping to start stripping it down Saturday, so not too sure. I’ve had a few people tell me they dont ever fail so wanted to know if anyone has had any issues sort them

Is it common for the hydraulic lifters to fail, done a rebuild recently and put some uprated cat cam springs in as I snapped a spring but no damage to head or pistons thank god, car was fine for 800 miles and now terrible noise from top of engine, it’s not the dephaser we had pulley cover off...

Would you say hydraulic lifters failed, all oe parts used when done the rebuild too
