Default 1.9 engines

where`s the best place to get one from as im thinking of getting rid of the 2.1 zvh im runnin at the min, dont get me wrong i like the zvh but im wanting the car to be nearly enough origonal. Its a shame really as the zvh engine has only clocked up 600 mile since the build so any suggestion welcome please people

Fit Hypereutectic (ie chocolate) pistons to theirs/not very good for standard

I agree with 'Andrek12345' above see Jamie at Jamsport because he knows
the motor inside out, has a real passion for them and has got his knowledge from experience not 'the beano book of making your mota fasta' like most
of the 'experts' in the UK. Ooooooooooooops controversial!
