#1: Self re-con engine or change full engine?? Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Sat Apr 09, 2011 10:19 am ---- right now i have fixed over heating on the 1.6 8v i have now, only problem it has a bit of bottom end knocking noise and since i have had it bit of mayo on cap has shown up (didnt have it when i got it) and oil smells little petrol a bit.
now i have never fully stripped an engine down before my self, wouldnt mind having a crack at, have idea how its done also haynes books too,
tho im unsure if to have a crack at it myself or just get a 2nd hand engine (that could be just as bad) if i do mess it up then i will have no choice but to get a new one.
if i do it myself any tips? if i do replace engine any other type of engine that will be easy to get in? or just keep same type?
im not after a faster engine or anything yet (that would be a plus) just after getting it going etc,
ben.

Parts can soon add up unless your getting them at trade prices.
Timing belt kit, water pump, bearings, head bolt set, gasket etc.
