Hmmm, these look familiar - 2 live and others will remember

Mirrors my experience although this person ended up spending a HELL of a lot more than I did... only real difference is she still recommends him. Oh, do those gold pulleys look familiar? Well they should, they are actually my old ones and that's my bracket I never got too.

Cambelt failure on this one, which will be down to poor timing or fitting... so in a panic Ben fits whatever he has lying about and decides to make the best of it. Reason there's no timing cover is because those pulleys are designed incorrectly and dont fit properly. As for the bent valves, well changing the bolts usually helps

Here's a pic of them on my engine.

Here's a pic on his unsuspecting customer

Didnt u get your money back from your pulleys that u never got ?

[McPikie]

Doesnt she say on C16v that she designed that mount??

[J o n]

nope, nothing. Spent a fortune in petrol for wasted journeys when told it was ready, but on arrival to be told there's a problem or he'd put a hole in my sump by jacking the car up on it lol. Never saw a penny of it back, chased it up for 2 years and eventually gave up and sold the car. Not to worry, his business is failing big time, karma wins the day.

Basically I should have known at the time, he greeted me in chaps and a 10 gallon hat at his ranch... alarm bells should have been ringing at that point ;)

not sure Phil, wouldn't surprise me though as Ben doesn't and cant design shit. My cat cams were custom profiled one offs... until they had to come out to go in my new engine only to find they were off the shelf jobs... similar to when he claimed he'd designed his own ITB's, when in reality he'd been down to AT Power to buy some ITB's, been given a copy of their proposed design then plastered it all over Clio sport claiming it as his own genius, before going very quiet on the subject after being humiliated by someone that works there.

Hmmmmm

Weird, why would you want to mess about making a custom mount?

Surely the sensible option would be to use a front engine mount R19 stylee and leave the vernier cover off i'd have thought.

Doesn't look cheap anyway!

Wouldnt obviate the need for a top mount

[u33db]

Why do you say that?

[Coops]

need to upgrade the rear lower mount to do that to the r19 mount also then, and cant do that without loosing power steering, modding lines or rerouting them etc, lots of work as well
