C3G engine head removal - Twingo 95

You mean the pipe clamp ? Always hand-tighten .
Plugs 30 Nm.
Ignition should be on for 60 seconds before cranking. Good luck.

[ronenfe]

I mean number 5 nuts.
What do you mean pipe clamps should be hand tighten only? I used tools for everything.
You mean cranking so the engine gets fuel and then connect the ignition?

I mean oil, not fuel.

[cooldriver]

Number 5 has no torque, you turn till the end of the winding,
so the nut is about 1 cm on it.
Follow your instincts, there is nothing difficult about it.
Ignition on because of starting problems and internal throttle calibration.

[ronenfe]

So what do you mean crank the engine for 60 seconds before starting? Remove the spark plug wires.

[ronenfe]

You were right, it says 18nm but maybe it's a mistake.

[ronenfe]

I meant to attach this:

[cooldriver]

So it could be expansion bolts, a print error or 12.9er bolts.
Its not that important.
What about your car, any problems yet ?

[ronenfe]

I still have to put back the distributor, accessory belt and exhaust pipe.

[ronenfe]

Man, putting back the spring and nut for the exhaust pipe was one of the hardest things I have ever done, I needed to use a magnet stick to get the nut to the bolt.

[ronenfe]

The distributor doesn't have to be fineadjusted because the timing doesn't depend on its position.
So I would remove it.

Does the orientation of the shaft notch matters when I put it back? because It can be put in 180 degrees difference, can't it?

[ronenfe]

I put everything back, I have sparks, the injector seems to work, but the car doesn't start. What should I do?

[Broadcasttechniker]

Rearrange the ignition cables




And check the distributor cover and finger

.

[ronenfe]

This is the arrangement I have, and I have spark on each wire, do I still need to check the distributor cover? I tried to rotate the finger 180 degrees, but it only goes in all the way only in one position so this is not the issue, what else can I test? do you know the compression values for this model?

[cooldriver]

New distributor arm new distributor ?
Check all connections , control device, ground cable, Map-Sensor, Lambda .....

Compression is 11 bar. Valve clearance checked, outlet 0,2 mm, inlet 0,15 mm?
Firing order is 1-3-4-2.
Switch on ignition, then wait 60 seconds before starting.
Another way is to push gas pedal down for a very short time while cranking the engine.
Always check for wet plugs. Tubes all clean and connected,
Map sensor tube also very important.
