1.9 Block with 1.6 head/pump feeler
« on: December 18, 2007, 05:08:06 pm »
Hey!

A couple weeks ago my oil pump died in my car.  I stupidly drove on it and caused some very bad blow by.  So I thought, well, it's just cheapest to replace the block.  But then a friend suggested that I look into putting the 1.9L AAZ block on my current setup.

At the moment I have a N/A 1.6L motor with a good pump and good head.

So first of all I have to source a used block.  Doing some googling for the last hour got me nothing.  Looks like 1.9L blocks are about $900 more when looking at the new ones.  I found a 1.6L used block for $200, that was a decent deal, if i can get a used 1.9L for $300 I might go for it.

Thoughts?  Concerns?  Ideas?  Blocks? :)
