Post by: danzigfan on 13 February 2015, 18:06:23: Finally a 6 pot....after eleven years. 2000 year, only 65k/miles , bought from 2nd owner which kept her in the garage for 2 years and I know both owners because I was waiting for this one to go for sale. She goes like a dream and I plan to keep her for a few years. Cloth seats, rear blind and leaking rocker gaskets...as usual.

So I went to a friend which borrows a local garage at weekends, the plan was to replace rocker gaskets - as you see above it was a lot of oil in there :(

Then I saw a leak from thermostat housing... And decided let's get that blo..y tinker out and replace it...It was an unlucky decision as we couldn't replace it without removing the back of cambelt cover off >:( (Damn and thise blo..y six pots ) just to find that camshaft seals are leaking too

Now this is how it ends.... She'll wait till monday - can't get parts anywhere for weekends. Cam covers, cam belt, aux belt, rear springs and fuel filter are waiting in the boot to be fitted. Only bugger that has to make it difficult is thermostat..now I have to go to work in friend's twingo tommorow
......I hate renaults.... ;D

Post by: danzigfan on 12 June 2015, 20:09:51: ...just wiping the dust here...I wanted to show a replacement cam covers for my Omega ....the thread will be continued hopefully with best results. I need to order HBV and "O" ring for coolant inlet pipe that goes behind the "V" valley due to minor coolant loss and some black goo for cam covers, I also plan to drop the oil sump and clean an oil strainer to prevent any possible oil starvation. All of this should be done in next two weeks :y

Edges of cam covers are nice and straight - supposedly these have only done 1000 miles before rearended.

And a pic of pretty shiny engine as it is now even though it has slight oil leak but only on motorway runs ::)

Just in the middle oil sump and pick up strainer cleaning ...wasn't too bad IMHO
