Did you use the genuine Renault locking tool? Designed especially for these engines because of the floating VVT's etc?

If not then your engine has more than likely sh*t itself and ate the valves.

No I made a tool to hold the pulley so I could torque the dephaser, I never used a sprocket cam locking tool but everything still lined up, does the dephaser pulley need to be set at 12 0 clock ? Also the valves have slightly marked the pistons but not that bad hope the pistons are ok

I locked the back of the cams and crank with the tool

What went wrong if the horse shoe went straight in the back of the cams and the crank locked with the pin

i have done a few of these now. So you locked the crank and the back of the cams with the correct tools.
If you used to tools to to lock everything in place them I can't see how it went wrong. Did the engine turn over OK by hand before you started it.
Another possibility is that the dephaser pulley bolt was loose.

Everything was tight and torqued. All I can think is the inlet cam was out, turned it by the crank at least 8 times and no valves where hitting only when I started it the belt was testioned

don't no what happened but something went wrong whipped the head off need 8 valves just wondering if you know if the valves are the same as a 172, I got the Renault tech data now so I'm going by that this time and I never used the cam sprocket locking tool as renault say it should be used if it's actually needed I thought it's only to tighten the pulleys down so I made something up last time I used the gun what I think didn't do the dephaser any good

I've come to the conclusion that the crank was not locked properly just waiting on a gasket set and some valves keep you updated on the rebuild hopefully it all goes well

Clio is running new gaskets new valves dephaser fitted inlet cam was 180 out so I made a silly mistake do these cars suffer from bad idle as it idled a bit rough before and it's still the same I think it's the throttle body any ideas ? Also took the sump off noticed the oil pump chain is a bit slack and the conrods have slight side to side play?

They do idle a tad rough on the standard map, but this could also be a symptom of the timing being out.

How rough is 'rough'?

They aren't the smoothest of engines, but I actually like them for that.

It's not bad at all with the air intake pipe I can see the throttle body flap fluctuating what makes me think it's that need to get it on a diagnostics to get live data
