Knackered Engine what else is going to go wrong????????

[colinl]

Hi All, Well ive just been out to start the SJ up and thought i had better check the water where i found that it was bone dry! Anyway started to top it up and after a full watering can i decided that there was something wrong so looked underneath for a water leak.There was a slight weep from a core plug so not the end of the world so i then started it up and Holy Shite!! The breather out of the top of the rocker cover was shooting cream all over the place so i pulled the dipstick and it was full! Long story short the blocks cracked caused by no anti freeze. I know its my own fault but whats done is done and so now i need a good 1.3 engine so if anybody has a cheapish 1.3 for sale will you please give me a shout but would like one as close to Manchester as possible.

regards Col

ohhh dear, that sucks.

engine swap is dead easy on the sj , nothing compared to a disco engine swap

i have a 54k engine that has been in storage for a while. but im far away .

i think jay on here had an engine for sale.
