Due to a "slight" issue with my engine, I may be needing a new one. Ideally I'd like to replace like for like, and it was a 1.6 k series EU2 engine (with distributor) from a 1997 car. It had the "supersport" upgrade cams which are still useable.

Any other suggestions gratefully received.

Post here or PM me if you prefer.

I spoke to moto build and they have a ZR 160 engine but not any older EU2 ones....

More thinking required.

Hi there, yes I think they are interchangeable...my issue is that both my head and block/pistons are a touch....broken.

So I really need both. I was hoping to replace like for like, or close to it, so that it matched the original spec of the car.

One option is to get something similar to that engine and get it modified/installed to suit. Just trying to work out what is best at the moment.
