Your doing a great job and it will soon be coming together 👍🏻😊, I'm looking forward to the engine going back in, all the bits like brakes, suspension etc, and one day an mot and drive etc 👍🏻😊
Stick at it! Having the same issue with a central locking issue but at some point your progress will go forward again! Remember it’s worth it and you’re getting to know everything about your car better!
@ it looks ace, the colour is lush and I look forward to seeing it. I have a blue phase1 with same wheels that I’m bringing back to reasonable standard but without full rebuild!
Good effort, you would of had to of taken the head bolts out again anyway as you forgot to put the WASHERS back under them!!. And put the rocker arm on first, loosen all the tappets and their nuts off as far as you can before they want to come out, smear a bit of oil under the head of each bolt before you put the washers on then bolt all 10 head bolts down at the same time, then you can put the rods in afterwards and adjust down the tappets to spec.
@@Renault5Rebuildno problem mate, fellow R5 owner, been running 5's for 30 years now, so i've done that job a 'few' times over the years!, although i no longer run the 1.4 C1J engine, i run a Clio 1.8 16v engine that i turbo'd and put in mine.
Hey. Sadly that's the problem with working on cars, especially 'previously enjoyed' ones. You are a step forward - you'll be more comfortable putting it together a second time. 😉
You wont ever adjust your timing once the engines in.. dial in some timing now, or just bang on the standard pulley if you're leaving it OE. If you regret my advice later on and wanted to adjust it, swap it then.. To adjust the timing in the engine bay is a nightmare, screwdrivers down spark plug holes, can't see fk all, it's never gonna happen.. on top of that, you aren't fitting a modified timing cover to get access to leave the rest sealed.. the full cam cover is a nightmare to seal after the engines chucked oil.. fit it, seal it, leave it.. If you do leave adjustable pulley on, you will most likely have to beat some clearance into the cover as the pulley bolt hits it.. it did on mine, so perhaps dont get attached to the fresh paint, youre about to ruin it..

You are 100% right. Not going to give up on the old girl just yet 😉

One forward two back is still better than just two back.
Wondered what Gareth Southgate was upto now. Nice content pal and well edited
Well I had to do something in retirement 🤣
I can't believe the Renault 5 turbo was an ohv engine, live and learn.

Good spot! I forgot due to new bolts going back on… thanks for the heads up 👌

Ahh good advice! Yeah expect the paint won’t look the same after a small amount of use. Thanks for the comment and support 💪
