Club 80-90 Forums

My engine has some major mechanical issues, possible head gasket, just as a alternative to getting it fixed if i sourced a 1Y is it a straight swap over?

Ok I am reading the 1Y is none turbo as standard?

From what I understand 1y and AAZ have same block.

The 1y I had was stamped 1.9TD.

Non turbo as standard but it seems you have all the bits to fit turbo.

but some..like mine only have 1.9d stamped on them ..so be sure to get the 1.9td one..infact specify it when inquireing

up to what year was the 1Y used? Is it just the block they share, or is it the head as well? Could be a good way to get a spare engine incase your AAZ goes bang

So would the manifold fit? if the block is the same what is the differences between them?

Its all internal differences as far as i remember.

As Weldore says, get one with a TD stamped on it and you should be fine.

Im not aware what the internal differences are and i've never done it. Mr Hutch and others have done it quite successfully.

or..theres the agg / 2e route

more power same mpg so mrhutch and elvis were saying

Internal diffrence are small ends conrods & pistons lighter.

Right thanks, AAZs are thin on the ground 1Y is available but the one on for sale is too much. I'll wait and see what the diagnosis is first.

You can get a whole car for about £400. make your money back on scrapping the car.

Word is aaz engined cars are being snapped up and shipped to Eastern Europe, getting hard to come by I dont have a drive way to store a car while it gets stripped so my options are a bit limited that way.
