HELP!

[jack_davey]

fitting new ht leads, took the upper inlet off and a piece of plastic has fallen down the inlet on cylinder number one!
Any ideas on getting it out, I've tried a vacuum already!.. trying to take lower inlet off but its a f*cking b*tch of a job!

 

[Russ_16v]

try a small mirror pushed down ti the curve of the inlet to see how far its gone in chap

 

[bing_17]

Get that lower inlet off and you should be able to get it out without too much trouble mate. Next time you will cover it all over with a rag wont you

 

[mattjk]

what exactly fell down there?

 

[Jamesstone]

Taking the lower inlet off is abit of a cuntish job unless you have the tools for it mate, when theres a will theres a way, lol at the hoover method

 

[jack_davey]

I usually mask them up with some tape but didnt have any! lol!
Got the lower inlet off and found it wedged in a half open inlet valve!
Thank f*ck! James mate you're right, it's a c*nt and a half of a job!
By the way is it normal for the inlet ports on the head to be all polished up? My lower inlet is RS stamped but it seems the casting quality on it is rubbish! they need opening right up! Guess that explains 170bhp on the rollers!

^ Matched inlet group-buy going on soon fella.

Maybe use the extra £ you save to buy some tape

 

[jack_davey]

haha! yeah I'm thinking about getting a spare set to match up though, cant be leaving the car like it is for any long period of time! Sand fell in the ports from just taking the inlet off, had to vac that out! lol

 

[Tigger]

Flip sake forget the tape - go buy a plenum & a bonnet :rasp:

 

[jack_davey]

eh?

 

[Tigger]

Stop dropping things into the engine lol

 

[jack_davey]

oh believe me mate, it wont happen again! had to order a new fuel line as the o ring seal securing the fuel line to the rail broke, and renault dont sell the o ring seperately! C*nts!
By the way is it normal for a 182 not to have a fuel return line?

 

[Tigger]

Not 100% mate, someone on here will know
