getting the engine

My 1.4 CVH engine is getting old and needs to be replaced or fixed. It's leaking oil from almost every gasket. Before it dies I started to look for a donor car but after contacting several sellers without many replies I decided to search for a 1.6 replacement  engine without the car. I thought this would be a pain because of it being harder to transport around than an engine which was already in a car but it went straight into the back of my mate's Audi. I took it straight into the kitchen to "get started" on the engine.

After researching on the internet for a while I learnt that I had bought a rare lean version made after 1996 when UK emission laws were changed. It has 6BHP less than the hemi version so I guess that would bring it to around 88 BHP if I use a LTD carb with it.

Well, I thought it kinda sucked that I had this less powerful version of the CVH but then again it uses less fuel and gives out better emissions apparently. I will be using this engine to drive from Finland to English this summer so an engine which uses a bit less fuel would be a good thing!
