[QUOTE="jarance, post: 89156, member: 21"] Latest Update.. Engine transplant done. Have to assist the mechanics to do the transplant as he was not familiar with the works. Work done:- 1. 2nd hand M40 1.8 litres transplant. plug and play. 2. Throttle body changed to 1.8 type but found the inner bore to be same as 1.6l. 3. Timng belt change to new as now sure the usage of previous engine. 4. Mounting for front Shock absorber changed due to broken off. Could be caused when the car towed from the rear. 5. Long short to short shaft rubber coupling changed due to excessive wear and tear. Use to have a bit of knocking sound when shift from neutral to drive mode. Now the knocking sound is gone. 6. Fuel hoses all changed - already harden and cracked. 7. Flywheel oilseal changed. Damage - to be advised later... After the engine is transplant, try to start the car. Crank and no sound. Big worry... On the back of mind ... OMG what have I done!!! Check and found that the battery is weak.. Use jumper wire and connect. Turn the ignition On and engine crank!.. What a relief... phew... but engine did not start.... mmmmmm..... Oh yes, the fuel hose was changed.. hence the fuel is not going into the fuel manifold and injector. Start to crank the engine and stepping and pumping on the fuel throttle... Crank and crank and crank... The cranking seem to last forever...(actually it was about 10 seconds) and suddenly the engine runs... :yahoo: :yahoo: ... At first, the engine sound rough.... as time goes by, the sound of metal rubbing dies off after the 20 seconds.... As the engine warms up, it start to purr like a pussy... Push the fuel throttle and the rev is responsive.. no hesistation.... good feeling..... OK, let go a test drive... Stop engine and bring the car down.... Restart the car in Neutral position and the car suddenly start to reverse when the gear is selected to neutral... OMG, WTF... later found that the wire for the gear shift was not adjusted properly.. Adjust it.. Good..... jack the car down and Housten.. We have a countdown and ready to go... Drove on the highway... Step down on the pedal.. Acceleration not bad compare to previous engine... Drove around a bit and was quite happy with the new engine... What a week... Thanks to all who have help in getting my car in running condition... cheer everbody... :ok: :ok: [/QUOTE]
