Theres no offence intended, i'm simply asking questions, at the end of the day i couldn't give a monkeys left bollock if it was the starlet god himself who is your friend or fitted the engine. You would be surprised how dull some people can be when it comes to fitting things to/in cars including engines! Even qualified mechanics can screw up I'm not being an arse just seeing what has happened to the engine to get to the bottom of it all. No pun intended To quote you spoke 2 joe this morning and the reason the engine went into another starlet is because he sold it on to some1 from where we live who's engine had gone, it was then fitted and didnt run, so joe then had to give him the money back. What happened to the blown engine......bottom end go by any chance????
