Mk1 F4R
Got the bottom end to the factory and then upon to the stand, started to undo the sump bolts and two have rounded off (sighhhhh) rest of them were ok, so it look like a bit of drilling tomorrow to get them out
Mk1 F4R
sure you can do that without damaging anything
R5 GTT EFI Clio.
If you got room, use a grinder, and cut a small slit into the side of the head, then used a driver + hammer and beat it, it will undo then wind it out by hand.
Let us know how you got on.
Edit: i did this to my sump plug but i had good access with the disk, mine was rounded to f**k, had to get a new one!

GOOD NEWS as they say 3rd time lucky
After rounding two of the bolts the other day finaly got them off before, took the sump and baffle out and everthing looks clean and NO swarf this time. Im really happy now which means i can now start to build it up clean it and paint ready for dropping into the car

Cheers savi, Im hoping the rest will be relativley straight forward as i now have most of the parts few more bolts and stuff to get yet though to put the engine together
Mk1 F4R
Sorry but im going to have to sigh again
Finaly got the head screwed down onto the bottom end, Got the gunk out and gave it all a good wash down, left for a bit then wiped off.Later to come back and have a little mess with the pully and then to find out that its bent , both pully and water pump pullys are bent so im hoping it is only the pully and nothing else to serious.
Fingers crossed and ill be having a look at it tomorrow
Wounder wot happend to it?
Few random pics of the engine and putting the head on
This is were i had to dremel the bolt off

are you going to be running a baffled sump adam?
Mk1 F4R
or a windage tray, designed to stop the crank webs churning up the oil in the sump, dont see how it would 'baffle' as such, but if it has it, use it for sure.
Do fr4's suffer from oil surge problems? only asking due to your lack of luck finding a good bottom end (more to the point do f7r's in my case?)

I thought it looked alot better than the valver one rather than it being half the way over the back of the engine bay
that box could cause some issues.... engine wont fit with it there
lookin good mate. hope it all comes together nicely for ya.
Cheers, i only put it in there as i dont have much room to put thing in the garage comes out when im working on the car and then when the engine goes in im sure it goes on the side lol
