Fitting a 2.4 engine to a S60R.

[Dangerous Dave]

Theres must be a reason for the failing head gaskets after being replaced weve never had one fail so some thing must have been a mistake

Yeah, me and my remapping skills and thrashing the engine LOL

My last HG replacement lasted a week, though I think it's something more serious than that, will find out when I rip out the engine

Just read through this.....sorry to hear you bad news Steve, hopefully you will have her back on the road soon with not too much expense.

As you know I recently purchased from Halfords a 'professional' socket set, I also own a hacksaw (I think the blades blunt though) and a bit of sandpaper, if I can be of any use to you whatsoever don't hesitate to give me a shout, I'll be only too willing to help, how hard can it be ?

lol Graham....go to bed.

It's been raised to 6700.

????

P2 T5s have a 7250rpm limiter, is it lower on the R?

He forgot a zero, he had it raised to 67,000......there's a lot to be said for not going above 3000 rpm

John who did the remap said as standard it's 6250.

[M-R-P]

Must be an R thing then.

I got nowhere near the limiter on this video (filmed in a private driveway)

I've never hit my limiter but its higher than that

[V70 Graham]

Maybe you were just very unlucky.

Spoke to Tim today, what a genuinely nice, and helpful bloke. We'll be taking the R to him to have it shimmed, which will hopefully sort the problem, if not then we'll be going down the 2.4 route.

Your car's been remapped though hasn't it Martyn? The limiter was probably raised when they did that.

Good news that Tim is sorting you out mate. Once you start using him, there'll be no turning back!

Thanks for letting me have his number mate, I can see why you (and others) rate him so highly now.
