both left and right same price
both left and right same price
part number tbh
Its the arms that are longer...
They are the Male track rod ends as the Willy rack has Female arms
Mk1 F4R
The clocks are going to be the last thing on the list to do, if i do get round to putting them in, good thing is it does all the mpg and other stuff too. Personally i think they look miles better lookin tbh
The part no for the williams track rod ends is : 606 74 5140

No, from the 5 Valver Racks and 3 Williams Racks ive had (weather the people on C16V believe it or not), not to mention the other ones ive seen...
Valver = Male Arms, Female Track Rod Ends
Williams = Longer Female Arms, Male Track Rod Ends
Four different part numbers for the track rod ends (Valver + Williams, Left + Right), but they are the same size (Length). Ive heard people say that some valver racks have Female Arms on other sites, but ive never seen one myself from the ones ive had or seen in pictures...

Took the engine down to ryan k so we could put the piston in the bottom end (couldnt be bothered to buy the tool) and needed to go down to buy some stuff off him
knocked it in with a hammer
Got some more done on the engine lastnight
We took the flywheel off the bottom end so we could put it upon an engine stand, once it was on we turned it over so we could take the sump off. We then took the old piston apart so we could get the big end bearings out to put into the new piston
putting the bearing on
piston pushed up to the crank
We then fitted the big end lower half tapped it down slightly then put the bolts in and it was done, turned over fine
Turned the engine back over to inspect the new piston abit more to then come across this, well annoyed
2 big scores in the cylinder, we have put it down to the old piston
There are a few other mark on it too so we think this is were valves have hit the block.
I packed up and then started to put the valves back in the head with new stem seals, wot a tricky task putting the collets back in it is
First 8 done only took an hour
and finally all 16 back in 45 mins later
I am now on the lookout for a bottom end in good condition if you know anyone or have one please let me know asap would be much appreciated
