Thanks for the advice mate.

Just a few more questions. Do I need a GTE/GSI gearbox?, I have a 5 speed on my 1.2cc. Which engine would be best to go for, the GTE OR GSI, or is'nt there much...

How hard is it to drop a 8v GTE/GSI 1600cc engine into a 1200cc engine bay? Are the mounts in the same place?
The 1.2 is a carb version, and the GTE/GSI is fuel injection with a ecu, do I need the...

I have always set my timing with a strobe light shining at the bottom pointer and notch, and if they need to be...

Here we are Mowgli, sorry about the state of the photo's. By the way the bottom pointer and notch are spot on, it's just the angle I took the photo at.

As I said earlier, yes is does sort of, but it does not sound to good, and so I have not let it run for long, and I have not run it since I got it down to a tooth away.

Yes mowgli all 3 bolts.
