Sooo back together mot Tuesday yer took for a spin this engines so quhite and smooth I forgot how happy this angry little van made me..
and like it never happend 😎
Do they just press off the old and onto the new? And also do diffs from Clio 200 fit 250 meg as I’m looking at getting Meg but Dunno if it’s cup or not
So new engine is now back together checked all the tappets also new genuine chain kit baffled sump and nice rocker cover..
Also dug van out of storage hopefully get it together this week !! Then advertise it 🥺
I think piston failure or valve head fell off? oil pressure was strong it was wheel spinning in wet @75ish mph in 4th probs I was a bit harsh 🙈 obv Mexico my brother did same in his ep3 and that was piston only as his valves were intact rods still intact just bent 😂😂
Soo finally picked up a 60k miles k20a2 ouch!!! I was gunner do a k24 build but sadly it’s got to go to free up fun tokens for my next one (ph1 172)
I dug out my old engine I needed sump off it and I pulled oil pump off too and eff me there’s been a party in the sump as expected 😂
But anyway...
So pulled the engine and yer shes really ded cams/ vtec bit, oil pump, and baffled sump survived for when I do 2.4 k20 oh and also I need to do a little chassis notch as shafts had been rubbing 🙈so I have tucked it away for the mo so I can start gathering parts but I did dig out my cortina to...
I think it’s piston failure as all the valve look in place just pent as the springs still compressed Like the heads still attached to pull head it’s engine out so may pull it to see if head is salvageable🙈
Yer 🤞lol and should be strong if forged!! No more issues like this!! Cheers again
Soo a sad update.. couple of nights ago was coming home from work it was raining so traction didn’t exist 🙈 so was wheel spinning through the gears into 4th and then it finally bogged got grip and pop!! I managed to coast up the first slip road and yer towed it back to my parent as their house...
That’s a pain!! on the skunk mani have you blanked all vac ports off underneath? You tried squirting with brake cleaner round inlet while running to see if engine note change ?
Few little jobs done firstly when I first put rocker cover on I put bits of sealer whe the joins were but I had to whip rover cover off and when I re fitted I didn’t seal again as I was rushing and leaked like a siv so re sealed that!!
and also the shifter got a bit of slop and gear changes...
