Still waiting for news.... nothing yet but its looking like a tensioner problem. Can someone enlighten me as to which way you turn the centre (clockwise or anticlockwise) as I have now managed to confuse myself.
I am going down to Wiltshire tomorrow to take a look myself but I have a suspicion that when I get there I will find the tensioner done up the wrong way...... seen it before on this engine and it comes loos even if the pointer lines up with the notch to start with....... should have checked it myself

An update for you Schumi.... I have found a manufacturer of an upgraded oil pump for the EW10J4 and S engines........ wider rotor and made of stronger stuff..... I have one fitted in my new engine and have another pump coming.....  |
Is that company from France and name contains rally ?  Dont complete name if you know. |
No its not..... I am waiting on details and spec mate but judging by my engine there is/was a lot of oil getting to the head

You are still on hydraulic valvetrain right ? If you went to mechanical then you need to decrease diameter of one oil hole on cylinder head.

I am still on Hydraulics........ think I need to increase the size of the oil holes to sump to allow the extra oil to get away or fit drain pipes to cam galleries to evacuate the extra oil. At present its filling the catch tank
I need to sort the cam belt problem first though

What company are you talking about then?
Did you get down to inspect the engine - hoping it's not too bad for you

It seems there is a bit of detonation on No.3 piston and I am waiting for the results of a full strip and injector tests

Probably because I have asked for the cams to be taken out as part of the repairs and replaced with my own choice of Cat Cams

Breaking news.... the engine builder has got the new forged pistons. After my ideas that the CR might be too high for the other mods (bigger valves and long duration cams) he has asked for the old piston measurements. He suddenly has decided to machine off the piston crowns to lower the CR on this build....... surprise, surprise!!
The engine will be refitted shortly and its going to a rolling road that he specified for mapping. I cant wait to see the outcome.
His prediction.... 250hp

just read this from start to finish great project and good to see the development,some serious power and the torque its making for an n/a 2.0 16v is unreal
unfortunately you always get setbacks with things like these.
look forward to seeing the results of the fresh engine build we could do with a few vids of it on the rollers
