Engine data

[drakkie]

Hi guys,

for the 3D-CAD drawing i need to make i need some engine data... The engine of the choice was the C5's 1.8 16V,as found in my dads car. So far i have sent close to 50 emails. I phoned a dozen of companies/importers and visited 5 dealerships... I even called to Citroen HQ in France. They were quite unwilling to help. I do get some pictures of the engine in my mailbox, but not with the exact data i need. I dont think anyone of you might be of help,but I can try atleast

The data I need:
- length,width and heigth of the connecting rod.
- The diameters of the big-end and the small-end
- Used material in the pistons,cilinder,connecting rod and the crankshaft.
- The shape of the piston. Is it flat on the top ? What is the diameter deviation (when cold) between the top and bottom of the piston ?
- Any other information about the engine components you might find useful.

PS: If i suddenly get into a coma or something,you know i have received the phone bill

Couldn't you just take your fathers engine appart?

Well i dont think he will like that too much mate Plus we dont have any area that might serve as a garage. I dont fancy working in the cold on the street with 5 degrees celsius. AND we dont have the tools at home If only it would have been that "easy"...

Well that too ! I think i would get it disassembled,but putting it together would be more difficult But for that i've got an uncle

Try the Haynes manual for the car, or whatever the equivalent is over there. That should give some decent disassembly pictures and some of the numerical data you need.
