That's right, the head is line bored as is the mains in the block, so the carriers are definitely not interchangeable! ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!

Well you guys were right, cam belt was too tight. Took it to my mate's today and we slackened it off a bit, the whining noise has drastically reduced. It may still be a little tight as there is still a little bit of a whine as the revs drop past 2.5k. I'll leave it for a week or so to see how it develops. Thanks for the advice gents  ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |

It wouldn't surprise me if there is minor damage caused by over-tightening the belt. Hence the minor squeal you have now. ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!! You'll need to throw money at the car. Not on parts. Just stand near your car and throw loose change at it, I find this increases performance for a short period of time |

Only did about 100 miles with it too tight, so fingers crossed. What could have been damaged out of interest? ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |

The tensioner had been damaged on my old rallye due to overtightening, so had to change that again even though it was only a few miles old!! |

Glad you're on the way to getting it sorted, I knew that was the issue, seen it so many times before unfortunately.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

I have a brand new spare tensioner and idler in the garage so may change those over if I feel the need. But she is sounding a lot lot better than before so I'm well happy. I thought there may have been some internal head damage due to it sitting so long. Loosening the belt was quick easy fix ( SO FAR SO GOOD ) ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |
