Perfect, thanks.

Another quick question (sorry). Would an engine from a 2000 1.3 K11 fit? I am concerned about NATS and possibility of it being coiled too. If too much hassle I'll move on to a different 1300 engine.

Yes it's sealed. I wasn't sure if a drop or grease/oil was required besides that. Will run a wee drop into the bearing just to be sure but it looks in A1 shape, it may get changed anyway. When I get the clutch off the old 1.0 I'll show you's a pic, we can decide then whether its worth...

Guys, What type of grease do I need to use on the release bearing for the clutch and also on the input shaft into the gearbox. Today, in the light I noticed LOADS of thick, gloopy oil inside the clutch housing. I'm guessing this is why the engine died. As a result I gave it a good clean in...

There's a fair bit of advice on the forum on the 1.0 gearbox. To summarise (and correct me if I'm wrong guys): 1.0 gearbox is lighter and not as strong, it comes with less strong driveshafts too, but a standard 1.3 engine doesn't seem to bother it. I will need to take the 1.0 flywheel off...

Dear Lord no. To be honest Frank I think if I manage to get the 1.3 in there and running I will be doing well haha. I have a habit of taking things apart and forgetting how things go back together again.

Well I started today (thankfully where I live - ards peninsula (the bit that sticks out the east of Northern Ireland) we get barely any adverse weather) and managed to get the engine out. I did manhandle it by the way but I wouldn't say it was feather-weight light lol :o Hopefully I'll...

Bought this locally with a broken engine. Didn't even bother to inspect it, metal fragments out exhaust and a chronic oil leak meant I wasn't even going to bother trying to fix it considering a new engine is only a couple of hundred. Plan is to tidy it up a bit, fire a 1300 engine in and have...

Lifting the car tomorrow. Will get a few pics up when I get it. Thanks for the help folks (Y)

Either the engines very light or stani is a monster of a man :P Sounds good. Sorry for all the questions (you have all been great so far). If say I wanted to use a 1.3 but use the 1.0 gearbox to save a few quid, am I right in thinking that I just pull the clutch and flywheel from the...

Ah but you've changed the gearbox then, eh? Great blog by the way frank. Is it reasonable to assume that I could lift the engine myself? Would make life a hell of a lot easier. I like your method of lifting up and over the cross member even if it means whipping the bumper, etc off. I...

Hmm... does the 1.0 box just give up after a while then? Thats a bit of a shame :( I guess if it's worth doing, its worth doing right...

Cool, thanks. The car in question is a '95. Great site by the way, lots of useful info. I guess first port of call is a Haynes manual, couple of hours infront of the fire and a cup of tea or three to see what I'm letting myself in for!

Engine Swap - We have a problem Hi Guys, I am potentially lifting a Micra 998cc with a blown engine. I was hoping to get a 1.3 engine and fire it in there. Are there any major differences between these two engines? I'm interested to know: 1. Can I rip out the 1.0 and just plonk the...

Hi Guys... May aswell make this my introduction post Any mad micra projects on here? Thanks in advance :P Coog
