Hello,
need some more help.... I have been trying to get the 172 conversion to run, as i was turning it over today with the plugs out looking for a spark the engine suddenly locked up. I can turn it one way 1/4 of a turn and then back 1/4 of a turn but thats it.
Anyway, i have a horrible feeling somethings dropped down one of the plug holes and is jamming in the bore :dapprove: or its dropped a valve :S.
How hard is it to remove the cam cover, i got all the bolts out but it wouldnt come away easily so i didnt wana force it. Also if there is something down there how difficult is it to remove the head? I have stripped and rebuilt over 10 R5gtt engines so i'm fairly handy but these over head cam type setups are a bit worrying for me :dead:
What is the best Haynes to get for a 2000 Clio 172 engine?
cheers Ashy.
