F4R head inlet port question

[Neilb84]

Taking my head off today and had a quick look in the inlet ports looks like they have been cnc machined is this std Renault ? As I'm not familiar with these engines yet ?

 

[Mr R.]

Yes mate that's how they come.

 

[Neilb84]

Cam cover is leaking. Yuk

Ports are standard, surprised me first time I saw it.

 

[Neilb84]

Head gasket blown too
rebuilding as a spare engine now

 

[Sam@NP]

Rare for the head gasket to go, good luck with the rebuild.

True I used to work for aston
Try changing plugs on a db9 inlets off, also re calibrate with amds to tell the Ecu it has new plugs

always hated working on Astons, Vanquish was just a ballache from the word go, and I started on those as bare tubs without even panels
