I have a SMALL engine issue.
It don't start!
Actually it hasn't started for some time, so when it came to turning it over yesterday, it didn't.
I am reliably informed it is seized and although probably repairable, it would be cheaper to get another one.
Now I have a little dilema. Do I get amother 1600 or do I get something else?
I am guessing the Honda route would cause too many issues with a part built car (designed for the 1600), but I can see an opportunity to look at an 1800VVC.
I know the gearbox is different and therefore the mounts, but this could possibly be overcome by making a new mount bracket to fit between the engine & mount.
I know I'll need the engine and all ancilleries including ECU, 5AS and alarm blipper. Is there anything else I need to consider?
I have a hydraulic clutch system fitted that I want to keep. Does this mean I will need to look at particular cars for the donor engine?
What do people think?
Stay with the 1600 or upgrade?
Upgrade to what?
What do I need to consider?
