s2 111s (160bhp) engine in s1 111S (143bhp)
Discussion
well the old engine would probably have needed new pistons, definitely needed new valves and possibly some other stuff checking at least or at risk. So with the price and availability of the 160 engine, they have proposed to put that in instead. He hasn't said anything about loom and ecu but it doesn't appear to be phasing him although I am not sure if he even has the engine as yet.
well it seems the original engine isn't too bad - one slight nick in a piston (nowhere near the edge) that will be polished out, new valves and seats and cost of that (plus new gasket) is a similar amount to the secondhand engine. He said the rest of the engine looked very good indeed, but thanks for the help guys.
incidentally, he was struggling to find a decent k-series. Does anyone know of any recommendations as a source for these, either original or reconditioned? There should still be plenty floating about you would have thought or are they all going to scrap inside battered Rover 45s etc?
