clio 172
Hi guys.
Recently bought a decent clio 172 on the cheap because it needed a new engine. i sourced a new engine that was in good condition and put it in, also put on a new dephaser pulley and timing was all correct etc.
started the engine and had that common tapping/rattling noise when revving which alot of people say is the dephaser pulley. we had 2 dephaser valves which we swapped but still the noise.
the engine i bought was left overnight in the rain and there are traces of water in the sump. could this be a part of this rattling also because the pulley relies on pressure an what not to go into the advanced position?
im not the greatest with cars im just looking for a little help because engine work on these become stressful times, especially when i havent had a chance to see how well it goes.
thanks guys,
Neil
