As some of you may be aware my brother in law killed his engine and it fell on me to do repairs,
well i fitted the donor engine today which came from a guy on feebay ,,, please bear in mind i had not heard the engine run and apparently it had been sat in their yard for approx two months,
i connected the battery turned the key and it fired and run first turn and is a sweet little engine (result) even more of a result is there was no eml and the temp gauge now works :y
-
And a job well done then...

Sounds like time well spent.... :y

Did you (or do you plan to) do cambelt kit, oil change, and plug change? Most important things you can do, alongside breather clean :)
-
Good job. :y

in my haste i thought i would turn the engine over to check everything was connected ok ( not expecting it to start straight away) i forgot to connect the two pipes to the rad that come from the auto box that carries the transmission fluid to the rad and hey presto auto transmission fluid everywhere :-[
