Hello all,
I have a 2002 1.2 16v Sporting, and the engine has more problems than I feel like solving. I got an engine from another 2002 1.2 16v with automatic gears and it looks pretty decent inside, so I'm going to use the whole thing. I don't suppose there is any real difference inside the engines themselves between the manual and automatic transmission versions of the car, though correct me if I'm wrong about this, please.
Real problem is - I am going to change the piston rings, but I don't know two things:
1 - what is the correct measurement I need to get for the new piston ring gaps?
2 - what is the correct torque settings I should use when refitting the pistons?
Literally the only two things I need from the Haynes manual, but don't seem to be in there...
Any help from someone who knows/has done these operations will be greatly appreciated!
