Like so many on here, will be nice to see this finally finished and back on the track!Hi, I use 553s in my build and it takes just 2-3 hours to make solid lifters from hydraulic ...
182cup & 172 racecar
Interesting.
I've done the same on Zetec engines.
If you have any spare hydraulic lifter - just disassemble it, remove inside and measure the internal diameter. Then go to eBay and order some aluminium rod of this diameter. Cut it a little bit longer then fit inside the lifter to "full open" it ... then go to the person who will assemble and tune you cylinder head and he will decrease the length of these inserts to which is necessary for your camshafts... P.S. Sorry, I'm from Russia so I cannot explane you all details because my English is pure - but I think you got the idea. And my mechanics charge me 3 hours for all above - disassemling, measurments, ordering, cutting, preparing etc...
I notice engine dynamics have solid lifters for £350 a set.
If I roll some tin foil up will that be ok?
Keep us updated with lots of photos!
They're catcam lifters and are £470 inc vat.
I like the sound of these homemade lifters.
Reading fail by me there, they were the hydraulic ones - thought they were a bit cheap lol.
Another tour-de-farce engine?
Says APD did a few pages back.

Where to Start with this then...As the Thread title says 2010 updates, well that was a long time a go, and its taken till 2014 to sort this out.
Im not going to go back through everything in detail, you are more than welcome to read the thread.
In simple terms, we had a perfectly good 200bhp + ITB'd clio, but then got bored and decided to build a fully forged ITB'd clio.
The engine was built had some issues, the car was mapped and never ran that well.
Back in 2010 we were set to do a track day at croft in the car, did some pre checks found some oil leaks so parked the car up in the garage and there it stayed for over 2 years.
The opportunity came some time last year to get the car to Fred to have a look at the issues.
Fred has ha the car for the last year working on it on and off in quiet times to fix the leaks.
I picked the car up from Fred last month and although their was no leaks the mapping was miles out and the car hardly ran. So i had the car taken up to Paul at RS Tuning, when the car arrived the car was running on 3 cylinders so after a compression test the engine seems to have low compression on cylinders 2 and 4. Paul did a great job mapping the car for us and its running better than it ever has before, it even idles on cold which it has never really done.
Having spoke to Paul we are going to run the car as is see if the compression gets any better with some miles on the car, if it does not we will have a new bottom end rebuilt over the winter time and then hopefully the engine will be solid.
We still have a lot of electrical bits to sort out and lots of bits to make nice and do better especially on the inside, but to have this car back on the road is brilliant, it is very fast.
Only have iPhone pics as i don't have my DSLR currently and no video of it at RS tuning as i could not be there the day Paul mapped it.

Now to put some miles on it, try to get one or two track days in before the winter and enjoy the car we should have had nearly 4 years ago.
I bet some of the older members thought this car was dead a long time ago.
Thanks
