UPDATE!

Ok, got the car booked into a MOT on Sat 19 April, it passed with flying colours bar a simple bit of headlight adjustment which my MOT man sorted for free

got the Tax and buzzed about. The car handled like shit and it wasnt very fast at all, seemed very down on power but I put this down to poor placement of the TPS and maybe the timing being slightly out. It aslo kept cutting out at lights etc but I thought, it would be the above, sort it when I get home...

With about 25 miles under the new powered KE I was nearly back home when i hear a faint rattle.......

This was a sound I have heard a few times before and knew what it was so I headed back toward were I keep my KE and stuff as I knew it needed a look inside, 4 miles later and the 'faint' rattle turned to a very loud rattle!

I know the bearing where knocking! I thought I installed a 4age and not a CA18DET!!

hahahaha

Anyway, the engine is fucked, all that time and money spent all to waste in that department!

so Sat wasnt a goo one, I felt down and depressed but knew I could get it working and now with the insurance and MOT/Tax paid up, I couldnt sit around and let it sit there like I had done before with it so...

My good frind John, said lets sort it 2moro....

started early, and finsihed about 8.

My mate John took the old engine out and stuff while I dusted off the spare 4age I had. It was very sorry for itself, looking all manky and stuff. Fine if I was taking one out like that but my engine bay was fresh so the engine had to match too.

I got all the engine cleened up and replace parts etc dropped it in and all is now GOOD!
