Got one of those...a 205 injection motor with a Kent FR30 cam and 38DGV doing 97BHP at the wheels but it's going through a litre of oil every 200 miles and smokin like a trooper.

 

Thing is I've got a recon 1.8 short motor in the shed and am trying to work out whether it'd be half decent with the injection head on.

[alladdin]

no, probably just a lower compression. best to buy a set of rings and some valve seals. give the bores a glazebust and it should be fine unless its really badly worn.

[X-pack-Glyn]

im sure the 1.8 has lower comp as were called eco somat or other, anyting with eco in the name is bad news really.

a functional 2 litre bottom end should be around 50 quid.
