I am not so sure that the cars that make suitable donors are in very good condition. Sure I bet there are minters about but why do a chop job with another wise immaculate car>? I mean why put other parts in a car that you buy because its immaculate. it should speak for its self as immaculate. Last edited by Jef_uk; 21/04/2011 08:50.

No the mount itself is fine,the dowels were missing which was causing the position of all the pulleys to be out. I checked in rotation with a dti gauge and theres no more than 0.05 run out which is great given the age of the car. That said im still fitting a uprated pulley just in case. New crank pulley,tensioner,idler,alternator,swapped the ac pump and ac tensioner so the only thing that was ran on the old engine is the Ps pump. I've always felt there's been an issue with that cast mount as there's been four failures in 2 years, if that mount was reused on every engine it might of explained reasons. At the end of the day it's being rebuilt so fair play to you and Steve for sticking with it. www.facebook.com/fiatcoupes

X19_pilot Enjoying the ride Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 1,180 Sheffield	I saw your car at JBT's today Steve, he said it was running now and was working away on the brake pipes - probably to make sure it stops as well as it goes! - by 'stop' I don't mean that in bad way! Hope all is well when you get her back mate, didn't look too far off being finished! JBT - Thanks for your time today, since I was passing I figured it would have been rude not to have said hello and find out where the water leak originates from.
