This type of "Levante"
-
Anyone with knowledge of the Levante V6 RST Engine?
Specifically the firing order?
A fellow Caterham owner in Germany is struggling with getting information on this.With thanks

Hi Andy,
The "fettling" I did for them to fit a metric chassis was "simply";
1) Drilled a hole in each bracket for the wires to route through the tube.
2) Reducing the diameter of the tube by sanding off the powder coating, and then sprayed the ends to seal the bare metal exposed from sanding.
3) Cut a hole/slot in the plastic indicator mount as clearance for the tube brackets each side.

Thank you Gents.
Very much appreciate the advice and support.

I've got the timing pin and bar for setting the camshafts.
But haven't been able to locate a Duratec Flywheel lock that mounts where the starter motor does.
Please would you share a link?With thanks

Appreciate your help on this Tom.
Yes, that's basically what I've already got.
And I'll gladly be told I'm wrong and that this type of kit can be used on a Caterham with the Bellhousing fitted, but to me it appears it can't?Perhaps needless to say, but Im trying to avoid having to take the engine out.

Yes, need to undo the crank nose bolt to get to the timing chain tensioner (suspected failure).
But Im trying to do the work with the engine in the car, therefore little room for the "bar and pegs" route - hence was hoping to bolt on a Flywheel Lock where the starter motor mounts.
But if that's not readily available, I guess it'll be simpler to make a "bar and pegs" setup than a dedicated flywheel lock. -
Hi Tom,
Im in Gamlingay, Cambs - SG19 3DG.
But before you go looking in the shed, I bought a Ford Flywheel lock tool - however from what I've figured out they are designed to fit to the Ford Bellhousing and not a Caterham Bellhousing.
Nonetheless, I very much hope you have what I'm looking for.
If not, I think I'll be looking to get something made.
With thanksChris

Hoping someone will point me in the direction of a flywheel lock that bolts onto the starter motor mounting points on a Duratec?
With thanks

I'll gladly take these.
Will send you a DMChris

Having fitted these, I highly recommend them.
Admittedly, I didn't realise they were intended for fitment to Imperial chassis - however with a bit of fettling I fitted them to my 2010 Metric Chassis.
Here's some pics of the fettling, which included drilling a hole for the wires to route through the tube.

The Vulcan alloys really do like nice.
I just wish they did them in 13in.........Chris

Thank you Tim - great point and if the bank manager agreed I'd be getting my hands on a "LiteBlox" battery, but alas no.
Hence, trying to keep replacement elements to a minimum.
Having looked closer at images of central battery locations, I've realised the heater cable goes between the battery and the heater unit.
So I'm hoping I "simply" need to reduce the length of two hoses to bring the existing heater cable closer to the heater unit and subsequently make space for the battery.
Here's hoping.Chris

I plan on moving my battery from the side to central location on my 2010 R300D, main reason is to subsequently also relocate the K&N Filter (using a DO88 90 degree hose, B90G73) to nearer the Bonnet side and add a duct to aid cold air being fed to the filter.
But in order to do this I need to move the Battery to the Central position, but presently the heater hoses are routed across this space.Hence, has anyone else done this modification already?
Any specific advise and support with the repositioning of the heater hoses and battery much appreciated.As pictures speak a thousand words, here's my starting point;
With thanks

Watts Linkage Arms and Bellcrank (in the correct orientation) now fitted.
As part of putting the rear suspension back together I'm replacing all nuts and bolts, but decided (for now) to re-use the original Bellcrank bolt, as the plain section on the new ones from CC were oddly shorter than the original ones. -
Thank you Gents.
JK please do PM me as I've not got the Assembly Guide.
Many thanks
Chris

Yet again Im seeking support from fellow Club members......
Please could someone clarify the correct orientation of the Watts linkage "bellcrank", ie should the longer "ears" be upwards or downwards?
I ask as there photos on the web with the orientation being both ways round and differences in which part connects to rear shorter linkage bar.......
With thanks
