Re: Pre-Purchase Checklist
Just rust, in my expierience! my old one had lots of little niggles (because its old) but it would always get me to work and started better than my mums corsa or my dads jag on a freezing winter morning (I've always suspected this is because of the manual choke) I gotta be honest, I want my 1.4 back...

Re: 1.8 16V f7p Powered 340

Re: F7P swap sump questions... And curious spring.
I meant to have a look at this last night but fell asleep instead..:/ lol I will tonight and let you know, I've thought about it a lot, it was in there in the first place for a reason so it would be a bit stupid to take it out! (i.e. me) when I get it off I'll take a picture of the the pump in mine ...

Re: F7P swap sump questions... And curious spring.
yea its not something you'd think about normally, fairplay if you have time to check guages in corners! lol yea theres also very steep hill through wroughton to avebury near here which puts the car at such an angle there probabally wouldn't be any oil at the top near the pump..but then logically not...

Re: F7P swap sump questions... And curious spring.
so thats a 1.7 oil pump in your pic? it look like it would sit lower and more central in the sump compared to the Renault one. This is why i got thinking. it probably wouldnt be to bad but there might be a split second or a few seconds where the pump isnt pulling up any oil?? over a period of time t...

Re: F7P swap sump questions... And curious spring.
I realize this is an old thread but any info would be great on the windage tray. The bottom end did fail on my Clio engine and we've just taken the sump off the old engine.. and i noticed the windage tray wasn't even there? thus I've taken it out of my new altogether aswell. thinking about it over n...

Re: f7p sounds/problems, youtube video attached
yea i put in bottom end rattle on youtube, and there was tons of 200sx vids showing it, but nothing renault. the only renault vids i found were of the dephaser pulleys on the new ones which generate a similar sound. I don't have an oil gauge so its hard to tell! it does sound like an engine low on o...

Re: Anyone Have an F7p Engine Lieing Around?
thanks speedy, I plan t get a better video this weekend, I just want to exhaust all possible avenues before i go for the new engine! I've just looked at that stuff, how quickly would it take effect, will it be pretty instant and noticeable?
