For those whom it might interest, the F4R build article has been updated onto the website.

A brief how-to into the assembly of a 172/182 engine.

We dont give away any specific details for obvious reason.

[Mike@Rentech]

Love your website Ben, very nice.
Oh and great article.

 

[BenR]

Thanks mike, its all the hard work of craig!

 

[MarkM]

very informative

you make it sound so easy is it expensive

 

[BenR]

depends what you consider good VFM

 

[Batman]

depends what you consider good VFM

so how much is that service then? would you be left with a super slick running machine>?

 

[BenR]

The rebuild service totally depends on the specification your going for, but that stock ish build cost circa £4k including new engine, all the modifications highlighted, all new genuine renault parts, new high flow low cavitation oil pump, ARP rod bolts, cams, headwork, machining and circa 35 hours labour, off the top of my head.

And the whole point of the rebuild is to give a smooth running, reliable, torquey and blissful engine to drive. Alot of time is spent checking and double checking even the most mundane of things just to make sure that nothing is out of spec and it will all work in harmony.

 

[Fred@BTM]

working in harmony, oh what a lovely thing

 

[hkka]

REALLY NICE WORK!!!! Wish I am in UK.
how much does it cost to do the same thing in Renault?
And actually, how much for a new engine from Renault?

 

[BenR]

Renault will not build an engine like that.

And a new engine, christ........alot.

 

[Lagerlout]

I think MATT BLACK has some engines for sale.... Would be worth buying on and letting Ben work jis magic. If you're loaded that is. Which sadly I am not.

 

[Adam]

awesome stuff.

I like the note about the painted rockercover, could almost be a cheeky pop at captain "I've got a hardon for posterpaint/no invoices for goods"

 

[rmccardal]

Almost

 

[Batman]

[Fred@BTM]

should be done fully, as you'll need low comp pistons

 

[Batman]

should be done fully, as you'll need low comp pistons

plus the option of forged con rods which i dont think is an option really more like an essential
