you'd better get a haynes to start

So many dubs so little time, so much rust

I agree! The Haynes manual for the diesel quite often comes up on ebay for a couple of quid…I'll let you know if I spot one.

David,its a dear game to properly recon a diesel engine,you need specialist tools,and if its worn to exess you will need a bore job and pistons etc,i found it easier and cheaper to get another engine.
I have a 1.6D engine that had been in my lock up covered in oil for 15 years so it shouldnt be worn,its bosch injection,you be better fitting that.
whats wrong with yours

Thats not a rod knockin,its a diesel stupid! floppy top and 1 tin top

I dont think that there is anything wrong with it but i am going to take it out of the car when im spraying it and i was just going to take some of it apart and replace any bits that look worn if there are any.
