Replaced the old smokey 1.6 8v engine out as it uses ALL in 1 day !, and I have a low KMs 1.6 8v motor to go in, so it's time!
Seems the 'new' motor has a larger flywheel and clutch plate,
presumably because it had a Tracker transmission. So I had to swap them
out so it would fit the Samurai transmission. Also modified the
alternator housing to accept bigger bolts to help with it moving on it's extended extended adjuster.
Of course I had to shear a pressure plate bolt and a spark plug too LOL.
After getting it all back together, I noticed a killer vibration when it was running. Initially I panicked thinking I'd goofed up the flywheel or clutch, but after some investigation I noticed the exhaust down pipe was hard pressed against the frame ....phew!! Nothing a grinder can't sort out ;)
