Club 80-90 Forums

Have the chance of an early (1985?) DG engine - to replace my 1990 DG.

Can anyone confirm that there is no difference to the engine itself - besides the different water pump (obviously my late cooling system/thermostat etc. would stay on the van - just the engine itself would be swapped?)

If I am just confused and talking blx - please say so - have been laying flooring for two days straight and now need to fix the van......

Mikey , can`t really answer your q , tho i think all is the same , you may have to jigger the pipes around a bit --- but , what is wrong with your engine ? i am going to replace our 1986 dg with similar if i find a suitable recon one , or get ours recon -- by laurie ?--but wonder re yours ?

Tis in at Birrells (Carsegate Ind Est) today for dropping and heads off to see - hopefully just gaskets....? have the exhaust and clutch ordered from JK so they will go in whilst engine out.

Am just trying to be prepared for all eventualities

All the engines are capable of taking each other's cooling systems.
