paulgtt Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I would also change the bottom crank pulley (unless it looks new) as the rubber has a habit of breaking down, might aswell while the engine is out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza-Ben Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Glad to see it back in action love the 4's so what did the garage do after all this mess?They refunded me for a engine, i got a specialist company to supply a recon, done what was needed to refit, got it all in spent a fortune on parts, oils, turbo, clutch etc Went to start it and found the company who built the engine timed cams up wrong by 95 degrees out on each. At this time i gave up and was in a low place as lost so much time and money so far.Then last week just went at it redone everything and now its done apart from fit gear linkages on properly and bleed the clutch, o and tappits are noisy but its commen on evos so will just get some 3mm ones as stock are 1mm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
