mantaraman 0 Posted November 22, 2004 :( My cambelt went at 70mph on Saturday. In the event of the engine being goosed (I may be lucky however), has anybody got a second hand 1.8 16V engine going on offer just in case?? :wink: Ta Mantaraman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted November 22, 2004 yes, but I'm up in Cheshire... :| At 70mph I'd bet you'll have bent at least 2 valves on a valver... :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought a full set off ebay to replace a few on a head that I have in the garage. If you want some let me know how many and inlet or exhaust.

mantaraman 0 Posted November 22, 2004 Thanks, I'll let you know what the damage is when they've peered into it... How easy to fit a G60 engine?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted November 22, 2004 You'd need the engine, charger, pipework, intercooler, radiator (and pipes) engine wiring loom, ECU (+wiring loom) and exhaust downpipe (and probably some more bits too) Cheesy is just in the middle of doing just this, probably worth having a word with him about it... DON'T forget to upgrade your brakes too though! :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h100vw 0 Posted December 1, 2004 G man, I have some secondhand ones if you need them. CHEAP. You need to lap them in anyway so there is no real benefit in getting new ones. IMHO Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted December 1, 2004 What engine has your car got? The belt went on my 16v (6 weeks after I bought it...). Even though the engine was at low revs and I got the clutch in very quickly it still needed new valves. Do a compression check... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
