Technical Started stripping my 1242

[AIJ29]

Hi
I finally got my 1242 in the engine stand today
I`ve taken off all the ancillaries etc,When i removed the cylinder head i was really suprised,I shone a torch down the bores and i could still see all the honing marks,Is this usual on a 70,000 mile fire?
Or does it mean it`s had a rebuild recently?
Either way i`m chuffed just got to get a dial gauge down all of the bores to check they are true
Cheers
Adrian

Hi
Breakers down here in cornwall only cost me £75 but it needed a flywheel as it was originally an automatic(car was front corner damaged)

Hi arc
I bought one off pete ages ago.
There are 2 different flywheel pcd`s which made things fun
Cheers

if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay? trying to gauge how much my spare parts are worth!

All the ones I've had to bits still have all the cross-hatching marks on, the bores don't seem to get much wear, if any.

was the alternator on it? if not you will need to change the pulley as well, the auto has a different one for the pas and the belt wont line up with cinq alternator

 

[AIJ29]

Hi Dave
Yeah the engine was complete alternator,starter/t/b exhaust manifold etc.
Can`t believe scrappies up your way remove all those parts
Cheers

You're actually thinking about 1242ing the sx then phil? After seeing the smile on your face when you were down last weekend I somehow thought you might!!!
