Biscuit Tin C/W BoatAnchor....:<(

Postby tooSavvy » Tue May 08, 2012 7:12 pm

:lol: .... err, well, not quite.

My SAVVY has the Renault Clio 1100 D4F SOHC 16V...... :think:

I believe there are horses hiding in the head... looking for a Wild Cam :idea:

However, everyone [with sense], moors their boat to this engine whilst fishing for a Crock o'Gold to buy the R19 16V TC.

I'm well saddo........ If a Hillman IMP can foul yrr troozers, with an R20 cam...why can't I get a Regrind :crazy:

1. Without stripping the head I cannot see what the std valve/piston clearance is, on lifts.
2. 'Boat Anchor' means no one knows what the SOHC is specced [lift/duration] & Initial timing.
3. .... wouldn't it be fun to find out :twisted:

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
