What should i change while the engine is out?

Post by shepster »

I'm about to swap an early 1.9 for a late 2.1 so apart from the water system (early to late) i'm going to change the clutch as a matter of precaution, what else would people recommend?

Cheers.

How about the oil pump and check closely the waterpipe from't pump round to the right side cylinders (specifically inside it behind the 'pin') .... it's a barsteward otherwise (if possible at all). Rear crankshaft oil seal of course.
