(T) Decided to treat myself!

Well i've decided to get a 1242

One question are the cambelts the same as the 1108?
As i'm having to fit a new one at the same time as my water pump...

Cheers
Jamie

P.s Any tips v.much welcome.....

Oh and if anyones done a picture diary of the swap that would be great

Nope, theyre a good 15mm longer- 3 extra teeth between calibration marks.

Should replace it at the same time as putting the engine really- its easier with the engine out of the car, cos theyre not expensive.

I have some piccys of the engine being dismantled, removed and the 1242cc cleanmed, but none of the install (but its the same as taking it out, just in reverse!), theyre somewhere on t'internet, will have to find them and link later!

Cheers tom....

Ah well thought it'd be to easy to save 15 quid.lol

Ok, theses are the only ones I have up atm...I have more, but I'll have to get them on friday / saturday.

Cheers but you need to sign in to see them.Lol

Oh right. small problem there then. Will resolve asap, and get rest of piccys up...

Cool cheers

Btw i'm paying £175 for the engine with around 40k
and £45quid delivery good price you think?

is that for a 60 or 75??

60.......

As the 75 is an mpi right?

yeah, but dave said a 75 will work as long as you keep the 1108 head on it

But that means only having one properly working engine......

So then i can flog the 1108......

true

Hi
Flog the 1108 on Ebay i saw one on there the other day and it was going for £175 and it was totally standard with average mileage.

Mine's knocking on 70K+ so not worth that much.

But more than likely will put it on ebay or local free ads.

That wont be till after christmas though when the new one is in place!

Use engine parts from the donor car - e.g. Punto cambelt, tensioner etc.

Don't forget the exhaust - you need a spacer or to have the front pipe cut and extended.
