Now, this engine would appear to have a somewhat chequered history, having had lots of work including multiple headgaskets and work on the bottom end, which given that it has only done 135 000 miles makes me think that rather than entering the chamber of horrors that is an engine someone has dicked around with, I would be rather better dropping a known-good engine in, as I don't have the time for the full strip-down and rebuild which may prove necessary... If anyone has such an engine I would be most interested!
I'm going to have to find a stopgap car tomorrow to get back to Liverpool, and the top of the likely candidates list? An AX 1.0. Oh how I laughed!
