Wow blast from the past is about right just found this thread and read it through, awesome build thread buddy need to meet up and have a good look around it at some point.

i assume it has allready been run in another car so the dizzy and blanking plate should allready be sorted if not it isn't that hard you just need a dizzy ring with your standard dizzy and the 2.0 dizzy drive swapped onto it and the plate to blank the breather (i didn't bother to blank the breather ...

this is a usefull list but it doesnt have bore and stroke on it im sure there is one somewhere but i cant seem to find it now

if you do have oil and water mixing it could be the oil cooler as thats the other point that the 2 could mix and they can fail but if its just a bit of mayo in the cap as others have allready said its probably just condensation build up and should clear if you take it out for a long run just keep an ...

check the sprung pin on the dizzy cap that makes contact with the rotor have seen them either stuck in or popped out and missing

if you pulled a plug and it was wet with fuel it must mean there was no spark to ignite it so i would say ignition side for sure if you say the plugs dizzy and rotor are fine it is either the coil the ignition amplifier or damaged cabling somewhere in that combo but just to double check swap out the ...

as far as im aware the injectors are in the manifold so no need to block them like you would need to to run a 8v injection on a carb

i think you should be getting about 14 volts ish with the engine running if the regulator is at fault it will overcharge the battery and cook it when i had a regulator fault my dash lights got realy bright and when i looked the battery was spitting acid on the underside of the bonnet could be ...

allways thought it was on a flat bit on the block just behind the dizzy may be wrong for a pb but its where ive found mine in the past on ex and agg blocks just rub it with a bit of sandpaper makes it much easier to read

hope you find it there somewhere if not no clue where else to look

im not shure if you can buy them off the shelf anymore i had my spacer made by a friend any engineering place should be able to sort you out use your standard flywheel and clutch you will need a 2.0 cambelt as the block is about 17mm taller i used a mk3 metal type headgasket but you can use the 1.8 ...

you need to fit a spacer ring to the 1.8 dizzy then fit the 2.0 drive cog to the 1.8 dizzy

just go to a local scrapper yard and ask to have a look you should find one quite easily

clean the area up then start it up and try to see where it is coming from just to make shure that it is coming from the headgasket as i have had leaks in the past from the rocker cover gasket and from the oil filter housing gasket too

mine was fine when i did it but i know my mate had issues with his bolt seizing in the metal sleeve sounds like thats what has happend to yours it's bolted to the side of the block so the easiest way would be unbolt it from the block lift the engine out then cut the bolt with a hacksaw and replace ...

me and my mate put the 2.0 out of my old rocco in a caddy and he used the crossflow head i think you can change the pulleys and just use the 1.8 or 2.0 belt but he fitted a mk2 newman cam in his pretty shure all the gaskets are the same the main problem is the water piping as there is no front water ...
