Engine Removal Megane 225 F1

Hey,

the last Time this forum was a Awesome help and now i need your Help again.

Big Thanks to @ianplymouth the last time, He was right i just doesn't want to listen to him that my block or Piston are too much Damaged ^^. Now im trying to remove my engine out to renew it.

But I'm struggling at some things. How do you Remove your engine ? with the Transmission ? or leave it in there? I will later demount the Front bottom Frame and do some more Pics.

As i read in some other threads, including the Germans almost everyone do it with the transmission. but why if this is a lot more work to remove the drive shafts and everything.

As a little Thanks i will try at the end to make a little guide How to remove the engine with my Bad English, maybe someone will translate it later in a better Understandable way =)

if anyone found a know a good thread or guide please post it.


At now, the Car looks like this:

 

Okay, thank you a lot for this instruction. The frame is off and I will demount the drive shafts tomorrow and all cables.

Respect for the 2:20 Hours, im now 7H at this project

But I think it's almost done.

@andrewjeffs I'm not that unexperienced, just at Renault =)

 

Hahah yeah, I see in hypne the average time to get the engine out with transmission is 10,7 Work hours.

 

I really thought there would be a hole in the piston or a bigger damage.



The Block and Head goes to a Profesional engineer and he will measure everything and test the head (fresh refurbished by him)

I can buy a used piston in ebay but it have an another number written on it. Do the piston at Renault habe something like a weight class and need to be exactly the same?

The eBay one Have 172.xxxx my Piston have 312. xxxx

And the other thing is, does someone know a Manufacturer who makes oversize Piston if I need them? In Google I found only Forged piston but nothing from Mahle or Kolben Schmidt.

Thanks for reading =)

 

Awesome does the 250 fits original? And the rail

And they are Standart size 82,7cm or?

I will ask you private for the price

 

That's really good to know but if I need new pistons it must be oversized 83mm

 

Hey

The Block is back and I start to mount some stuff on it. But maybe because it's late I doesn't found the hole where the crank - shaft Sensor needs to be placed.

The Man who bore the block unmount it and I couldn't ask him before Monday.

it would be very helpful if you could help me

Some pics:


The code on the sensor is:

8973216200

I doesn't found a picture installed of it

 

Shit, you're right
Thanks.

 

No he doesn't have my gearbox.

I also think he just grabbed the wrong part from an another engine. They was very busy.


I have a new problem. The guy remove this..... Thing. Which belongs so far I thing in the block and goes to the head

I think he must removed it to plan the surface of the block

But I doesn't know where to order a new one and how I press it back

Someone have a idea?

 

You guys are awesome. Thanks for the link

And very good idea with the bolts!

 

Maybe good to know for the next one. The centering sleeve cost in Germany just a pound. And the water pump Gasket 10 Pounds
(Ajusa delivered me the wrong one, Victor Reinz delivered me last one the right one)

I order a lot over autodoc, they are unbelievable cheap on good quality parts but also unbelievable slow ^^

 

Hey

I'm about to put the timing belt in. But this time how Renault want it.

I block the camshafts with the tool and set it on OT

I loose the nuts from gear of the camshaft's

And now? I guess I install the belt, tensioner the pulley and then I tension the nuts from the camshafts gears.

Is this way correct?

 

Yes it looks right.

I had a oh Fuck moment as I turn it over and see that the tensioner pulley was not exactly on mark but then found it it wasn't even on OT

On OT everything is right.

Now it looks everything fine, but I will turn it some revolutions more just to be sure



Please say nothing about the VHT Paint. I wouldn't buy it anymore

 

You mean the tool which holds cyl 1 (and 4) at the highest point? Which is in the block In the circled area?


I used this tool, the tool on the back who holds the camshafts

And the tool in front which holds the camshaft gears.




I love the color it matches perfect the f1 yellow but VHT Paint is very very bad. Everyone love it but it's very weak cost way too much and it's too thin at spaying.

 

I didn't check that

I just do the 4 or more revolutions. And check if the camshafts are horizontally

And my marks are on point on front wheel / gear was on point.



How I can check that tomorrow again? My marks on the camshaft gears are useless because I refit them.

But I think everything should be fine.

 

I think a little bit about that and I'm very sure everything should be right. But I will check it tomorrow. I will stick a pencil or something large in the hole of the spark from cyl.1 and will see if the highest point is reached, the camshaft needs to be horizontally so I could get the one tool inside. That should be bulletproof.

 

Yes they were firm

 

Yeah I understand. That's right.

I will check it later, but as I rethink yesterday I could remember I checked the old marks on the curb and the tool. So it should be adjusted right. =)

 

Oh yes, can't wait to start the beauty

 

Mhm I don't get it with the flywheel. As I remember I put it out like this and there was no distance plate. But the Renault paper say I need to fit one.

Could you tell me if it's on it?

Or is the paper wrong?

And as I see on the paper it could be installed in any direction. I mean rotating position. Or?



And there is another question.
On my new clutch was no "plastic" I fit it from the old one to the new one. Is this correct?



Thank you a lot


Edit: after writing that I think I got it, this plastic on the clutch is the distance Plate or?
