Mine were just over 13bar.
Mine were just over 13bar.
how is this done?
How would a leak down test differentiate between worn rings, worn valve seats or leaking head gasket?

Pressurise cylinder at tdc if it leaks through inlet,exhaust crankcase or coolant bottle you have a problem.

Lol at rev to 6k "it's your stem seals mate" wtf
erm....what? I have never and would never say that.
I can't understand the rest of your post to be honest
it could be one of those or a number of other things, if you're happy with this prodrive guy then leave it until he has diagnosed it, otherwise id take it to someone kno knows these well, someone like Fred or Danny

Working in the industry I would potentially disagree with that tbh, what area did he work in at Prodrive as there are many departments in which at least 80% are not involved with engine work directly.
I would get it to one of the RS specialists such as Fred, 519 etc etc

Stop f**king about, making 125 posts about what to do. you have been told, take it to an RS Spcialist and let them diagnose it properly. Yes, you might want to stay local, but your local garage know f**k all about this engine.
You pays your money, you takes your chances. You have been given enough advice, if you carry on and let some retarded mong work on it just because he has a snap on tool chest then thats your choice. Dont come on here moaning afterwards when your lump is trashed. FFS

come again?! In english this time...
I do know a local ex-Renault mechanic who has setup in Newbury/Thatcham. He does alot of rally stuff too although from the sound of it you may have spoken to him already - although the guy I know runs megane and 205 rally cars.

Well that is my attempt to break it down to try and find the fault
lol good work James! With it being broken down like that, it seems the OP has no idea whats wrong with it and is just guessing. As he has such a large budget, I would first take it to a specilist and get a quote to repair it. Then, depending on what the quote is, either get it fixed (+new belts etc) or get a second hand engine and also change the belts etc.
