Captin, a word in your ear please

[lofty]

joe,

or anyone else who cares to comment,

i light of the recent renault price cuts, im going to try pricing the bits needed to take the F7P to F7R spec, as we all know its the longer throw crank and willy pistons and rings, but what else would i need?

im ringing them tomorrow (thursday)

cheers

The block is different from the 1.8 to allow for the extra crank swing and the sump is bigger holds 6 ltrs of oil as these motors suffer from oil starvation 1.8 sump will not fit onto 2ltr block I tried it with my old motor as the monkeys that took the willy motor out of the car it was in dropped it and smashed the sump also 16v starter motor doesnt go as willy one has smaller diameter but bosch do a replacment that fits both, hope this doesnt put you off im sure the Captin was doing some 2Ltr conversions.

right ill add sump to my shopping list, i got a price for the strater when i almost got the spyder engine and it was only £80 or so non-exchange

Lofty, the entire block is different. It has different strengthening patterns and a wider bore.

Lofty m8., sorry, but I am not familiar with the f7 series et al..

unless im mistaken the bore is the same, and the extra capacity is gained from a longer throw crank.
