Which bit is a lot of work Fred? The re-wiring back in?
It's a lot of work to put it back in now Mark from what i've been told, the simplest way is putting a Bosch motorsport system back in as it's virtually standalone but then your talking mega bucks!
If you think you want to get it back in then your more than welcome to have a drive of mine and make sure its what you want before shelling out for putting it back in

No we don't, and to quite honest you don't want it either.
Plus it's something else to go wrong and dick about with.

Do we agree on something.
I quite like it personally although if I didn't have it then I wouldn't pay to put it back in! As Tony say's its more to go wrong and mine has played up a couple of times! If I were you I wouldn't bother

Refit the ABS!!
Mark I’m not angry.....just disappointed!!
Be interested how you find the 16” wheels and the larger tires. You going to go for a set of Ultraleggers again? Or something else lightweight?
My friend had those little mirrors on his Honda CRX, looked quite good but did vibrate a little. However your rear view mirror is the same as mine and I find its great for looking out the rear ¼ windows.

no no no f**k the ABS, men's men (ie cup spec) are quicker without it, if anything bin the wilwoods and go to stock calipers, 205/50 15's are the best tyres you can run on a clio - fact - cos i said so :rasp:
who fitted you're cams out of interest as i noticed at silverstone the other weekend about 3tons of silicone hanging out the side of the head which raised both my eyebrows to an extent!

Ok I am suitably chastised LOL I shall not refit the ABS. MY question has always been this re tyres and wheels. If 15's are best why do the cup cars run these bad boys?
Speedline 8" x 17" one-piece aluminium/magnesium alloy wheels
I shall re do the cam cover this weekend as there is a small leak on the probe thing in the top. When you take that off do the cams come loose or are they secured underneath it? What do you suggest for sealant on the cover Fred?
Mark.
PS
Send me the bill for the pads

Yeh the latest spec ones jack.
Cams are held in by the cam cover - its a full cambelt job to re-seal it.
Will the bigger tyres fit?

So if you remove the cam cover you have to de-tension the cambelt?

Bigger car, and it would look funny on 16s. On the 1*2 racers it was 15's which are more than suitable.

Remove the belt mate. The pulleys need removing
Yes, you should get a new belt really. Plus you'll need "the tools" if you don't have them to hold the cams and pulleys in place for timing it back up.

Looks like you need to book me a flight back to England Mark
Just order a JC5 repare kit from renault (bearings and syncs) 200 odd quid. Use and 172/182 reg number.
Glad you have taken the Gripper and FD route you wont be disapointed......

Are you able to provide a Renault part number for that jc5-130 kit? Renault Sweden managed to get me the jc5-089 kit = fail
Are the big service kit only 200?

From what I heard that is a normal Clio sickness and nothing to worry about. My top and cams where just the same. Just smoothed the worst out with 2000 grit paper and put it back together again. If you just post an image of it It will be easier to judge.
EDIT; Is the engine head untouched stock cams etc?

It depends on how bad the scoring is, but in terms of it being a race engine I'd say yes. You can always get the cam cover/head line bored, but that's gonna cost some serious wedge. Plus you've got to find a machine shop that can do it.
Failing that you need to polish the cam journals to remove the roughest parts and refit them, but I wouldn't advise this unless it was a very last resort.
Get some pictures up of it. Can you feel the scores with your finger nail? How deep are they? It really all depends on how bad the scoring is though as Godspeed says.
I remember you saying your oil pressure was low in a previous post. This could have helped to cause this as well.

Mine was rather bad I guess, the worst scratches could easily be felt with your fingernail. I polished the worst out smoothening the edges and put it together with new cams. The engine have been going 2½ years and 24000km since then, most of them under racing conditions and it is still going strong.
This is how mine looked.
