Right, so Iām going to go with an engine swap over refining my current. As I can have the replacement refurbed pre instillation without the worry of stripping mine to find the head is cracked.
But there comes the decision, another standard 1.8, or a vvt. After speaking to some guys the vvt is roughly double the cost. But will include an me442 so future options is great. Plus the power increase
For anyone who has a MK1 vvt, is it worth it?
If engines not overheating why not just drive it , I changed rad on my 92 eunos and coolant looked like poo a few weeks later done loads of miles since
As It looks like coolant may now be also getting into the oil so a bearing failure is imminent. So using it as an excuse to upgrade
