Technical engine Kaput part 2

[yan montego]

Hi folks I have just put a 1.2 engine in a place where a 1.1 used to be in a mk1 Punto when I tried to start it it simply went click. I then tried to turn it over by hand and the engine didn't move and it did before it was attached to the gearbox. Is there some differnce between a 1.1 clutch plate and or gearbox than a 1.2 or have I just been a bit unlucky and the engine has not gone in correctly. My very next step is to remove the starter and see if that allows the engine to turn by hand and if that doesn't solve it I am gonna take the gearbox off and see what going on in there.
Any thoughts anyone
Thanks ian

As long as it's an 8v, the clutch and gearbox should be identical. Make sure it's not in gear.

is 8v and 16v flywheels not same? i thought they are interchangeable. (op sorry for hijack your thread)

The external dimensions are the same, but the friction ring (as it were) on the 16v is bigger. Hence they use different clutches. The 1.4 16v is bigger still.......
