How come your rebuilding a 1200, would it not be wiser to save the money and put it towards rebuilding a bigger engine?

You can get a new set of lifters off ebay for about ?20 odd, buy it now.

Of course a non standard engine transplant will bump your insurance up quite a bit so it depends on your age and budget really.
Good point yeah.

As for power out of a 1.2 engine, ask Stu ;) Lol
