Hi there ive got abit of a problem that i hope some one on here should be able to solve for me.
I bought a 1.8 bottom end off ebay months ago for my xr3i when i picked it up i got chatting to the bloke and he said that he had had the engine built to put into his rs1600i but the car was stolen before he had the chance to put it in the only thing he said that would need doing to it would be to take the dipstick tube out of my old engine cut a quarter of an inch off it to clear the crank and stick it in but ive took my old one out but its way to big and wont go in the hole so i was wondering if the earlier cvh engines like in the 1600i had a differant dipstick and tube ?
Thanks for your replies in advance mark.
