looks like I need to invest in that pulley locking tool at some point - can you get them individually?
the car atleast runs for now, adjusting the timing isn't hard at all, there's a fair amount of room in the bay, so it's something I can quite easily come back to on an afternoon. Shouldn't do any harm if the timing is slightly off because of this?

yeah I know, seen 3 different torque settings in different places, think those numbers came from dialogies rather than autodata in the end, either way the torques are different for the 2 pullies, the bolt on the de-phaser is just torqued not angle tightened. Think we worked out that Autodata doesn't acknowledge the fact the pulley is different, we did a whole load of cross referencing.

Not convinced by that as i spent half a day sourcing a K4M locking tool and all that was listed was F4R from several specialist suppliers, you can definitely get them non renault. Havn't tried any of these though I might add.
The inlet cam is indeed 100nm and the ex 30nm + 86 deg +/- a 16 deg deviation allowance.
Angle tightening is used as its generates a more reliable clamping force than most peoples cheap torque wrenches and ill prepped bolts.
You need to use the pulley locking tool to tighten, otherwise your relying on the cam timing tool to apply opposing force, and it is not rigid enough to do so.
1mm out on the cam timing slots is a HUGE amount out.

No need to slacken the pulleys off the change the belt though. Unless they have been for some reason?

Well if you can buy the pulley locking tool, I think I will, just to be sure!
I previously did my pulleys up 30Nm + 90deg. This morning I tried 100Nm and it was only a few degrees different, so I'd say both methods are acceptable?
been on a little road test this morning... all seems well!
I've not pushed the engine at all though, as I'm running the rings in - but nothing sounded unusual. Oil pressure was good and there's no smoke out the back. fair amount coming off my exhaust manifold from where I spilt some oil

good to here there is very good progress again mate

think there's different versions as the studs in the head (that the cover, and therefore the locking tool bolt to) were in a different place. Was a laguna.

road test complete!
500 mile round trip to Wales completed relatively successfully
only issue i have is that at low speeds (well, throttle position) its running badly, I think it has a stuck injector though as I've had this before. It's also fine if you accelerate harder. Will check tomorrow! mechanically it seems fine!

Get some load on the rings dude, give it some stick when you've timed it properly....
Well chuffed for you

bump from the depths!
I've moved and acquired myself a garage... so now I'm not doing everything in the elements!
new theatre of operations :evil::
still got the trusty valver too!
I've almost got LMG running 100% now, it just seems to overfuel tons on idle
I've recently fitted an F4R fuel rail and FPR... I'm also using F4R injectors, so fueling shouldnt be an issue :?
I've got a new map sensor (2nd hand)
I'm still confident the timing is fine as its smooth on anything above idle. I have good oil pressure and a new dephaser pulley too
anyways, some vids!
in all these videos, the rev counter reads half, due to only having 1 coil wired up to the clocks
cold idle, I have to keep prodding the throttle slightly otherwise it stalls (flooding?)
idling once warmed up a bit
if I bury the throttle from idle it stutters a lot, kicks out some shite and then revs up
all points to poor fueling?
lambda was from a lower clio, but they're all the same...right? I'm also only running the precat lambda
I'm sure my CTS is working fine too as I tested it a while back with a multimeter and some hot water
So close to it being finished now... it's killing me!!

Dialogys says no different part numbers for a 1.2 one compared to a 172 one, precat only should be fine.

cheers bmh.01, thought as much!
ditz, too high?
running a brand new reg and rail and using some new silicone tubing for the vacuum hose (not collapsing etc..)
what else is there to change? I'm sure the ph1 valver pump is only about 1bar? but they can run williams lumps fine...

clioproj/skylinegtst/merc
just get a pressure gauge on the end of fuel line and set reg at 3bar
clioproj/skylinegtst/merc
yeah but does yours have 1 on the rail ?
