Half way through doing an engine conversion on a 1.2 track car, puttin a F4R in it
got the engine out, just dropped it all down on the subframe, pretty easy tbh,
while its out im going to do the belts and clutch, done the clutch so far, but the belt all i have is Autodata, my mates lending me the tools from his garage tmro dinner time ( i dont think there genuine renault ones but the laser ones i think ) iv read autodate and then looked on here and now im worried!!! haha as apprently the autodata procedure is wrong?? if anyone has a guide, a .PDF thing or something il be more than happy to send apaypal gift now in exchange of some well needed advice ??

Ignore auto data and bin the laser junk,behave a search on the forum and you will find what your after

 

[Fred@BTM]

you NEED the pulley tool, don't touch it without

 

[bmh.01]

You'll get by with the laser tools if you don't lean on them too much (although they aren't ideal and are junk after being used several times), but you need the pulley tool as well like Fred says.

 

[h4ml3t]

did it today, didnt have a laser tool it was a better one, held really well didnt move at all, didnt have the pulley tool but got on alright without it, turned it over by hand and all the markings were fine. its quite easy when its not in the car lol

 

[Tony Hunter]

Good luck with that.

 

[DannyR]

FLOL, typical I'll ask for advice and not follow it thread.

*awaits my car feels underpowered thread*

 

[pastieman]

Have you fired up the car ???

 

[Sam@NP]

all the markings were fine

What markings, did the pullys torque up correctly?

 

[h4ml3t]

locked the crank and the rear of the cams and with the belt still on slackend the dephaser, the crank pulley mark was were it should be marked the exhaust pulley up took tension of took belt of put new depasher on with the mark in the same place then put our own marks on it, put belt on and everything then torqued the pulleys up, turned it over 6times all marks line up non of the pulleys moved so should be alright

[Dan519]

[Sam@NP]

[Gally]

[h4ml3t]

153bhp is my guess.

jag xk 180

 

[h4ml3t]

even if its 120 thats still twice as much as the 1.2 has atm, if theres something wrong il just have start again, no big deal lol

though i would think for myself? its not hard to do i dont no why people make such a big deal out of it

 

[Sam@NP]

Because people f**k it up by not using the correct tools and procedure......

 

[pastieman]

Because it stops people touching their motors and take it to a "specialist"

 

[h4ml3t]

its a cambelt

 

[Sam@NP]

Meh, Im out good luck.

 

[h4ml3t]

Well if it goes wrong il just fit another engine

 

[h4ml3t]

Glad I changed it tho te Cambelt was about due to snap and the aux idler bearing was long gone

 

[h4ml3t]

Learn from ur mistakes and all that

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

:banghead:

 

[h4ml3t]

Haha

 

[DannyR]

I can tell from your constant posting your worried

 

[h4ml3t]

Nah iv just got this page on my iPhone and keep refreshing it when i get a second lol

 

[h4ml3t]

Imagine a belt change on a Bugatti veyron

 

[Dan519]

Learn from ur mistakes and all that

learning from other peoples mistakes would make more sense, and there have been HUNDREDS of them

 

[Sam@NP]

Its only a cambelt iirc

 

[Russ_16v]

It wont blow up mate, the timing will be out and you will have lost about 25-30bhp.

Id redo it while the engine is out as it is silly not to, just borrow the proper tools - remember everyone is only saying these things to help you out, if you didnt use the right tools then the timing will be out, simples.

Still, its your car, it will go alot better that it did as a 1.2,, but i would still redo it!

 

[DannyR]

Wondered if you measured crank bolt for stretch and replaced it if need be?

Anything not tight could cause bet to slip, and with it more than likely being a tooth out its closer to some valve tap

 

[h4ml3t]

Nah didn't measure it just fitted new one
