You seem very much on the ball with the build but one thing is a worry, your chasing power but haven't mentioned changing the valves, it'd be madness building this sort of engine and not fit forged valves and better springs, the piper cams have been mentioned and they're extremely new and...

Personally unless it had cams fitted then I wouldn't but given this one has them fitted and mapped already it's a winner, but I wouldn't put them on mine in a standard engine, when I fitted them in mine it did have quite a bit less torque which was instantly noticeable......the one your mate is...

As said about right, the 402s are really hit n miss power wise, from first hand experience I wouldn't have fitted ported manifolds either they do lose a noticeable amount of torque when they get fitted, maybe with 403s fitted yeah but I wouldn't have on 402, tbh a lot of them will be lucky to...

Been on here a while, previously had a twingo with a Clio 197 engine and loved its absolutely insanity, I was then offered my now R27 by a friend, I've always liked the Clio but never enough to buy one but this particular one I just loved so I bought it and haven't looked back Since having it...

I've got the red forge hoses and the itg maxogen, the fit is disappointing and had I not git it second hand I'd have been well annoyed with it, previously had the ktec induction kit but got rid as I didn't like the induction noise and the black plastic original air pipe it retains, wish I'd gone v6

Phew panic over cheers ......nowt like reading something and think oh poop

Got me a bit worried here I had to change the radiator in mine over the weekend and wire up the fans, can we just confirm which way the fans should work because I'm getting a bit concerned I've done mine wrong should the fan blow the air to the front of the car through the radiator or suck the...

Of you're rebuilding the engine it would definitely make sense to get the head rebuilt at the same time/checked over new stem seals seats and valves checked and guides

Yeah from the video you posted it sounded like the bottom end had gone

Ah ok, well not sure what to say mate other than I hope you get it sorted out, the thing you've put up is the same as a quote for work that I have for my gearbox as a quote only, when I picked it up I got another invoice there and then for the work that was done, Unfortunately as said though...

Yeah I have that off Facebook and I'll add it in, as a few have mentioned the invoice you posted looked like an estimated bill, must admit I didn't clock that till it was mentioned, I've been back over my own invoices from beanie sport and I can confirm from my own transactions with him is that...

Must admit I assumed that myself about the crank but came to my own conclusion it could have been a good second hand crank that was in tolerance, if a bearing spins it ain't polishing out

Yeah it is difficult to find someone who doesn't want to do anything other than filters and brakes and timing belts, there's very few places that want to or have the skill to rebuild one, I work as a machinist in an engine builders and know there's less and less places prepared to take them on...

Yeah it's had a full bottom end build and it's been done the right way tbf, good quality bearings and arp bolts, that's how I'd have done it if I was doing the same to one, I think you've been extremely unfortunate with it..........have you got the engine in bits at the moment or is it still...

Sounds like the cranks knocked out on that/spun a shell......it's been pretty well covered already on here and the top and bottom of it is unfortunately any engine can go regardless of if it's been rebuilt recently or not, yes things can be done on track day engines to help like arp rod bolts...

What are you after I've got a good block good crank and a fully rebuilt head with cat cam springs available

Get the t clamp they're the best ones to go for

I've got a spare sump in Rotherham if your local to me

So I've got a 2007 197 with the standard cd player, I'm trying to avoid an aftermarket head unit so I bought a newer standard Bluetooth head unit and dash/stereo pod but the wiring plugs are different. The pod on mine has 2 plugs and the new one has 1 plug, the head unit both have three plugs...
