So......
The time has come to bite the bullet......
Big end gave up the ghost on the old girl at 119K just let go on the motorway one weekend,
I bought a second engine which has been its own whole dilemma, and now it looks like that is a dud (wrong engine the lot)
So I'm going to rebuild the original engine. So the big question is what do I need?
im looking at a full engine gasket set, bolt set, looking at a crank with main bearings/thrust bearing and big end bearings new head bolts, inlet and exhaust gaskets, Cam Belt with the view to re-use the new pulleys/tensioners oil and water pump I just installed. Inlet and Exhaust Guides, New Little end bearings with clips.
anything im missing? apart from sense
