Re: Surface Rust on Cromo Axles

Cheers date

I hadn't thought of it in that perspective, but is a valid point. My main concern was any pitting that could cause it to damage/wear out seals.

Re: gti block

yes you need an adaptor plate to mount the G16 to a sierra box, the adaptor kit (if you bought one) would cost $200 that also includes the engine mount also.

As for 1.3 twin cam vs 1.6 its more of a person choice as bot engines have roughly the same power output but the 1.3's power is higher up in ...

if you're dead set on changing the engine - upgrade it at the same time - just go 1.6 outright - even if you go the carby 1.6 its a huge improvement on the 1.3 - but if you have spare cash (lol) go the EFI.

I think it’s about $1000 for a engine rebuild kit on eBay. Search around and you could probably find an aftermarket one for about the same price. Generally 4 cylinders start wanting rebuild around 200,000Km.
