Yes I’ve come across this on u tube apart from they go a long way around the point by way of touching the phone removing wheels and the hydro tension mechanism or lack of a better name to do instead of just pulling the tab on that mechanism which would’ve affected the water spinning fortunately this didn’t help me with my own but it’s well worth a try
Well here’s an up date on my engine banging
Bottom end so I fitted mean bearing now only one out of the ten u fit and I did the con rods small ends but when I was fitting them it bugged me that I couldn’t see any sort damage to the crank or pistons now that bugged me so stared her up it was like I haven’t done a thing still the same and in the back of my mind I could here a klick every time u turned to engine around by hand then I dropped watt I thought was wrong timing was out now the tool cost £500 to time this engine
And I’m not joking so I made small like bolt into the hole in the fly wheel locks it still at half up the bore all piston s much be at half up
The bored so each one are at the same place when u take out the plugs u can put something thin done each one to wok it out plus the pin u put into the fly wheel when u get the right hole as there 2/3 of them but only one will lock pistons at half bore so bottom end sorted so I looked on top at the cans now and I couldn’t believe they both was 180 degrees out or another wife putting it upside down but I’ve never known an engine to run as well as this did 180° out so gluten time and chain took the cogs off rotated both comes to where I believe they need to be quite simple reset the time in Jane and that was it the key beautiful knocking on happy days whoever fixed it prior to me was a sudden idiot as he thought he was saleing me a lemon and happy to do so but here’s the thing I’ve spent only £150 on this car and 48 of that was the engine I changed now I have one hell of a nice Rcz with clean as hell inside this engine only 73 k on it and now runs so so good I’m happy happy happy coz I got a beautiful looking one brand new wheels 19 inch lovely white Pessant paintwork and a blind in 200 BHP engine that now runs so so good I’m made up and I’ve taken on board a lot of info on this engine and to be fair it’s an
Easy engine to take apart I used an older engine lock tool of the 156 Rcz and others but u can fit the the left can no problem and u can make one of the other lock tools that comes with it if u put in on backwards on the left-hand cam the injection side because these engines that comes are not equal one camp is in the regular position you camp is higher like a step up but u can locked the top end with a £67 pound tool not the £500 they wonted for one now bear in mind it’s not like consul sort of a Muppet Christ and a mechanic I do this for a living hope this help
Don’t worry this is a easy and cheap for parts engine like all the mean bearing ten and all the con rods bears cost me only £90 brand new nov lock engineering firm parts place so bottom end part rebuild 90 can’t go wrong but bottom line my engine was set up wrong by miles
