A friend is in some difficulty with his 206 GTI 180, in that when a non Peugeot repair workshop went to change the cambelt they were unsuccessful in getting it to start. The mechanic thought that he may have got the cam timing wrong and bent some valves, and so pulled the head off, and that is where it is at after some months, the mechanic washing his hands of the whole thing.
I just don't have the time to put this back together, but my father in law has agreed to do it. The head is now fully disassembled and cleaned, finding that no valves are bent.
What we need is the instruction pages from a manual for refitting the head and cambelt. I see Haynes do not do one specific to the 180, EW10J4S engine. I have downloaded a manual from EmanualsOnline, but have currently not got it to talk to me.
If someone has this info and could scan and email or somehow get this to me, I would be very thankful. Otherwise if there is this info in an available manual I would like to purchase it.
Interestingly this engine has had a solid copper head gasket fitted previously, and I have since found that the head bolts on the 180 are only 127mm, and not 141 like the standard 206 GTI. For a standard head they have good sized valves and ports, and are a pretty nice thing.
