Renault Clio - Video tutorial

Model: Renault Clio Clio III, MK 3, Clio 3 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Engine
Operation: Head gasket replacement

Synchronizing or phasing an engine means ensuring that there is synchrony between the position of the valves (intake and exhaust) and that of the pistons, i.e. between the crankshaft and the camshaft: for this reason all manufacturers insert references (arrows, notches, pin holes) that indicate the correct alignment between these elements. Failure to synchronize would result in the valves and pistons colliding causing severe engine damage. The flatness of the surfaces of the cylinder head and cylinder base is essential to ensure that during normal engine operation there is no interference between pistons and valves (for this reason there are different thicknesses for the gaskets to compensate for any adjustments); It is always advisable to use a new set of pins to fix the cylinder head and also to follow a tightening pattern from the center outwards; once the camshafts and the tappet cover have been installed, align the timing references (use the appropriate templates to avoid displacement of the shafts during assembly of the toothed belt) install the pulleys and then the timing belt using a new kit that also includes the water pump and the tensioner. Remove the templates and rotate the crankshaft two turns to complete one cycle and check the alignment of the timing references again.
