Wanted: 1.6 Diesel Engine
« on: September 20, 2012, 10:49:49 am »
I need a running 1.6 Diesel Engine with 12mm head bolts.  I would prefer not to pay to ship, willing to drive a few hours.

After honing the cylinders, with 76.5mm pistons it was gonna be at .0023" piston clearance which is only .0002" below the wear limits.  The only pistons I can find are 76.48mm so now its gonna be like .0031" piston clearance, which are not worth buying and not worth my time to assemble.  I might be able to make back my money by selling the injector pump and vacuum pump and a few other goods that were left on the block.

The JB weld is still holding up by the way.
