Hi. New to the forum so hoping you may be able to give me some help/advice with my newly purchased Clio 182 '04. Having stripped down the engine I have found that no 2 piston no longer exists - totally disintegrated and damage to the cylinder walls. The head may be reusable so I am thinking I need another block. Has anyone got one or is it possible to use a F4R block from something else (as 182 blocks/engines seem in short supply. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

It really isn't worth trying to rebuild a damaged F4R if it's standard, just speak to one of the breakers (i.e.Tim Finch) and get one delivered on a pallet probably around the £300 mark.

Exactly like that. Seems to be a problem with this engine - I came across another post with exactly the same problem. The cam belt was still intact so any idea what might have caused such a catastrophic failure? I have taken your advice (pretty unanimous) and am on the lookout for another engine. Thanks for your thoughts on this one

Is that what is referred to as Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly?

I will have my 172 Cup engine for sale in the next few days. 122,000 full service history.
Belt/dephaser need doing. Genuine/untouched engine. No gasket leaks or anything.
Hi Gez. Thanks for the offer but after a 182 and a bit less mileage if possible
