As you quite know the 1.8 16v engines are good to a certain point, so after hunting around on ebay ive managed to get hold of a williams engine (F7R) one with 77k. Big thanks to jay s for driving it back all the way from clacton on sea, so ive had the engine for the last month or so which is now at stans at ap developments getting the once over. Im off to Stans in the morning meaning im going to be up around 4 am to get to there at around 8am. Im going to be using the valver gearbox as i know it strong and only on 62k, as the engine is out im going to put on a new clutch, existing alternator, water pump, new cambelt and aux belt. o fingers crossed i should be a happy bunny on the drive home.
