box wont fit

[mikeyredtop]

i asked some ppl on here wherther an f10 box would fit an sri engine they all said yeah sure but when it came to it yesterday did it bollocks.. its got a bigger flywheel... so 40 quid later we have 2 f13's buy 1 get 1 free at local breakers

[mikeoxford]

i dont know what people replied

what you need to do is use the F13 bell housing / casing and the F10 internals if you want to fit an F10

it is possible.....

just you need to use parts from both

[mikeyredtop]

i know that know but needed to know yesterday..

actually its a luck of the draw

some SRi's have small flywheel and actually come with F10 from factory

others have small and are fitted with F13's

then u get the rest with large flywheels and F13's

so you've just been unlucky

[mikeyredtop]

i thought so cause there was an astra with c14se with an f10 at the scrappies???

f uck, what were vaux playing at when they made all the 'same' cars with different gearboxes in. :? :o

they like to use up what is laying around before forwking out money for new stuff!

doubt that very much.

if an engine has a diffrent size flywheel, then it means the starter motor would have to be relocated. if your saying theres two types of 1.4sri block then ok there might be a chance, but i cant see it myself...... any gen?

[mikeoxford]

just made aragorn check

early sri used SR block which means F10 jobby

late sri uses new style sri block. and an f13 gets put on for good measure as i suspected

[Aragorn]

thats not quite correct

SRi had 2 different blocks and 2 different flywheels

no sri used an SR block

and to fix what i said up there - all SRi's came with F13's

the early ones had the smaller flywheel and an F10 would fit on these
later ones had the GTE/GSi sized flywheel

[novashed]

its the multipoint SRI's that are the anomalies. they also had bigger driveshafts like the GTE/GSI's henc the F13 box

[Aragorn]

driveshafts are irrelevent and its all SRi's we're discussing here

there are a whole pile of SRi's that would happily take a F10 box cos they have the smaller flywheel fitted

unfortunately mikeyredtop seems to have one of the later engines with the larger flywheel which will only fit a F13
