UPDATE:

thought it was about time for an update....

bought a x14xe

its got x16xe cams (don't know if they make any difference what so ever lol )

The old engine (x16szr its for sale lol)




so anyway to day i have removed the drive shafts to realize i need a new passenger hub and i need 2 ball joints lol





i then bought a new clutch kit just a cheap clutch because im after a light weight fly wheel and paddle clutch later



i then washed the header tanks because it was bit dirty




now for the engine i got rid of the rust and painted the block black and polished the cam covers

i just need:

oil,
gear box oil,
some vacuum pipes
oil filter

hopefully that is all i need to fit and engine should run fine lol







when the engine is out i also need to give the bulk head a good clean

thats all for now
