hey all, i was initially doing a head replacement on my 1.5 but found i dove in too fast with the tools and skills/experience i had and i couldnt get the crank/timing apart. ive now decided to just bin the old motor and get a complete 1.8L and drop it in as i wont have to mess with timing or anything.
also yes ive scoured through other posts on the same topic and done plenty of googling but i keep finding different answers that contradict each other. is this something i could realistically do if i couldnt get a mere crank nut off? or am i diving too fast into this too?
so far the things i know i need are exhaust, engine mounts, loom & ecu. ive got a complete engine im about to pick up which has a/c and PS incase i need some of those parts. is that it? and will i have to mess with a lot of AC stuff? because ive read that its illegal to degas the AC myself and i also worry about freezing my fingers off
