(need to change the ring) 6. oil seal for flywheel leaking 7. front oil seal also leaking. So many things worn out.. I am going to retire the engine and put it to a greener pasture. Went around asking for an engine M40 1.8l empty engine. Got it for RM1500 after nego. Thanks to those who have offered and help in purchasing the engine. (come with AP paper) Now the engine is at the workshop. can't wait to see the car with a new heart.. OK what are the do and don't when upgrading the engine from 1.6l to 1.8l. Heard so many advise. pro and con. here are the list. 1. throttle body (must used 1.8l) 2.
