After all this time...

[Flash Arghhh]

I was just removing parts from my clio today, as i'm having to change the flywheel. That means i'm having to remove my rad.
Which leaves a gap so i can see the engine plate with the bonnent on (with a torch). Thought i'll have a look and it says F7R, thought thats not right should be a F7P (the car is a valver btw).
So i pop on here and checked it out (as most will have guessed) its a 2 litre, I bought it as a 16v and its had nothing to say its a 2 litre.

Only issue now is i've got an 1.8 engine sat in the garage that i was going to build up, guess it'll have to get bored out hehehe.

wouldn't bother mate, it's apparently alot of hassle, just keep it and bang it in an rt or something some day

congrats on the other engine though! :D

yes mate you can't bore a 1.8 to two litre the biggest increase comes from a different stroke crank..

and these fail to turn in a 1.8 block without major mods...

just tune the two litre after getting it checked..

Is the head a 2.0L?

[MAXIBOY]

depends on F7R what usually...

F7R 700
F7R 710
F7R 714

I'll have a look in a bit and get back to you.
How can i tell the difference in the head (without taking it apart)?

I've got an F7R lump you can have to build up instead of the 1.8

Jammy git with the "valver" engine
