Inspect crankshaft condition first. If no damage maybe rebuild.
Very much set on doing the asz conversion but never done it.
Sure I will get plenty help from you lot.

I’m sure someone on here will have experience yeah. Guess it depends on cost and availability of a good asz lump. That’s another 1.9 isn’t it?

Yeah 1.9 with larger crank and rods so less chance of failure I guess.

Mike,
Is that an ebay one? I have been looking at them but getting put off by some of the sellers saying that vans before 2009 2008 2006 may have battery drain. I have a 2008 caddy and want to know that it wont knacker my battery.
