It was actually Josh that suggested the cam lobes might have spun round, sorry.

Hi, No definitely not as engine was removed intact from 182 with dephaser etc fitted, just stripped the head and cleaned then put it all back together.

As you said on an earlier message it's possible the cam lobes have spun on the cam causing the valves to be pushed out too far. I have measured the extension of the valves from the top of the Head and they are measuring 7mm on the exhaust and 6mm on the inlet, by my reaconing they need to be...

So, How much for a pair of standard cams? How quick can i get them? Regards Dave

So, glad we cleared that up.little half moons at the bottom. Has anyone out there got a standard set of 182 cams? Regards Dave

Hi, Thanks for the reply, will investigate further. Thank's again Dave

Hi Valves have all been replaced and ground in havn't refitted the head since that's been done, waiting to see if any one has come across this problem before. Cheers Dave

Absolutely not, though did first time I put it all together but realised my mistake when I tried to fit the dephaser and pulley wheel, Regards Dave

Yes, put everything back turned engine over to test and everything went solid

Morning, Compared valves with ones i took out and they bare exactly the same length ETC, Talk about doing my head in???? Even had an experienced Mechanic friend have a look and he's scratching his head as well. Regards dave

Morning, all good no nasty replies or messages. I've added some photos to show position of valves when set with special tool and position of crank when aligning pin positioned just in case i'm going mad, looking forward to your replies? Am i doing something stupid?? Obviously if i were to fit...

[QU OTE="NorthloopCup, post: 11642349, member: 61663"]I’m afraid they do go at the bottom, so I hope you haven’t been rude to anyone on YT mate! I can only think you’ve not got the crank pin in the correct position.

Head fitted, before tightening cam cover turned crank through 90 Degrees to allow for valve clearance. Tightened cam cover and then tried to get to TDC , pistons interfering with valves so posted on forum, do the little half moons go on the top or the bottom, if they go to the top i'm going to...

Crank was turned through 90Degrees to allow for clearance for Valves, then turned crank to get to TDC but was interfering with valves so stopped and posted on Clio forum.

Half moons at the top??? watched three hours of you tube telling me to put the little half moons at the bottom??? Confused .com big time...

Hi Yes did all the turning of crank etc, all good head on , little half moons to bottom of cams and still not going to TDC?

I'll give it a go?

Crisis averted, new bolt tightened up fine, obviously enough thread left in crank.

Hi All Been rebuilding my 04 plate Clio 182 engine and have come across a serious problem, new main crank bearings fitted, new con rod bearings fitted, new valves and headgasket fitted, when i try to turn the engine to TDC with the camshaft tool in place engine wont turn enough to get to TDC...

Hi There First time posting, does any one know what the thread is for the crankshaft bolt on a 182? I've overdone it a bit and need to re-tap. Thank's
