Got the 2.0l.......now what?!

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

Chad, a 9A block is a drop in for the 1.8 liter 16v engine. If I can do it 
you can (hows that for a challange  :)

Clean, paint and prep by studying the Bentley till you know each step of the 
removal and replacement.
Relpace with new the belts, tensioner bearings etc. A little care during the 
build saves a lot of time.

Ask questions of any thing your not sure of. I know I must have driven the 
list nuts when I was doing it!

Good luck!
