The wanted to say that my mix and match engine runs great.
Recap:
- 1.5L head
- 11mm 1.6L block
- 1.5L 5 notch head gasket
Every thing went smooth, got all the little nuts and bolts replaced were nasty, found out the clutch was almost new, cleaned everything up, and I everything is the way that I want it to be.
The only minor issue was that the oil return on the block was actually a little bigger than the head gasket itself. A little high temp RTV around the oil return and problem solved.
The car runs like a champ...We'll see how long that lasts.
Happy to here that the motor I sold you worked out ok.
You should be good for a while, at least this winter.
