Had a go at the second bank of studs and as expected a much tougher session with four still in situ as the lock nuts will not lock together on the stud and just turn. The good news was I managed to not have to buy a die to clean the threads up as a quick file and sand of the few flattened studs soon had the nuts on.

Hi all
I was expecting a bit of trouble with the studs after tales of welding nuts to get them out but in the end a bit of the two nuts locked onto the stud and a lot of spanner work saw them all out on one bank with the other more troublesome ones getting the treatment tomorrow. The studs on the other bank suffered alot more wallops so some of the threads might not be too good so might have to invest in a die to tidy a few up so I can get the locking nuts on. A strange thing occurred when some of the studs came out of the block in the form of tiny clouds of dust or bubbles of some liquid as if there was some pressure behind the stud in the block and removing the stud released it... The crank is now out and also the oil filter housing is off. I will have to get my parts washer up and running as this engine is very dirty inside and out so after we have got the liners out it can have a good clean.

I have added this event to the club website calendar, perhaps a local member could arrange a club booking/display area?

I put a fairly comprehensive list of colours, codes, samples and pics for the Fulvia a while ago. I'm sure its not perfect but its a start. Its one of the newer posts in the technical section

This May's event will be the fourth time it has been run.

It's a great event with a good Lancia turnout including many who take their cars up the hill (non-competitively).

Anyone going?  I'm booked in for the hill, and this will be my third time visiting this event.

If doing the hill you'll need a RS Clubman License (free), for driver and each passenger.

Couple of hours today resulting in all the pistons out and the crank just about falling out!
Bad news is all the pistons have the top ring broken, a quick look at the bores did not reveal any sign of damage but will have a better look asap, the pistons themselves don't look too bad but again a better look asap. In my experience all the top rings broken points to new pistons or rings but the bore not being honed to remove the lip and wallop all the rings hit the lip and crack. Back in the day you could buy replacement rings where the top ring had a step so it would not hit the lip...if only.

ps I love it how all the end caps on the con rods are stamped with the piston number and the weight on both sides

I have a Clio sport 197 with the brembo calipers, not a huge Facebook user but I'll try and have a look 👍

I believe there is a good solution using Renault Clio Sport 197 200 / Megane Sport Mk2 RS225 4 pot front calipers.  The chap that has instigated the 16" wheels has the answers so if you're a Facebook user and join the group buy page you'll be able to ask him.  His Facebook name is Evolution Steve.

Any ideas on what brake upgrade this would make available?
There are a few choices out there but often require a 17" wheel but I don't really want to go that large so may be interested in a set to allow a bigger disc size whilst keeping the OE look.

Thanks, that's good advice. My Makita impact gun is fine for general work, but is nowhere near powerful enough for this job - not sure my ageing body is up to it either!
