adam_cain got a good deal on the 2.2 coupe today 51 plate 71,353 with full service history done a quick video what do we all think of the engine any weird noises
adam_cain milo said: I hear the chains So i would get them done the chains are getting done its just the case of knowing what i would actually need to change as ive never owned this engine type before
adam_cain so the 179.99 and the 144.99 not sure on the burning oil as i didnt pick the car up if it does burn oil what does that mean
milo Piston rings or oil steam seals gone. Take it for a good drive boot it and if u see in the rear view mirror your coupe doing its best impression of the red arrows then its burning oil.
adam_cain ok mate thanks for the advice the engine going in my van so wanna get things sorted is 71 high for these types of engines
Dave_Gilbert No 71000 is low. But if its coming out I would balance shaft delete timing chain kit balance chain kit supercharge
adam_cain milo said: Aye bud at 4000 rpm and over can that be done with just revving the car or does it have to be driven
milo Forget the mileage bud, its all down to how the car been looked after i think @[deleted] has done 150k? Correct if im wrong. Plus if u got full history then its been maintained well enough.
Dave_Gilbert The balance shafts get pulled out n cut down I dont know all the details but its best done while out of the car, and helps the engine spin up faster. @[deleted] will explain(our resident master mechanic).
milo I would give it a spin just so u know it drives ok and no issues that need sorting. Just make the engine swap painless as possible.
