1.6 8v conversion snags
Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2013 6:53 pm
Ive taken on someone elses half finished 1.6 8v conversion in a sj and just wanted to clear up a couple of snags ive come across as its to cold to be making to many mistakes.
It had a 1.3 gear box bolted to it with only 2 bolts holding it on (one on the left and one on the right) there were 2 bolts missing from the top, the holes in the engine i think are 12mm fine thread but the holes that line up with it in the gear box are 10mm wide. Am i right in thinking i have to drill out the 2 top gear box holes to 12mm?
Also i can make out that the clutch bolted onto the fly wheel is a valeo one, the clutch and fly wheel to my understanding needs to be from a 1.3 right? If so how can i tell if its a 1.3 flywheel and clutch.
Thx again
