9A 2.0l conversion for Dummies

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

Dans right.
I did the engine buil;d on a stand, then just moved the existing 1.8L 16v 
out and moved the 2L 16v in.
As bolts and parts come off, I bagged them and marked them. Each part was 
cleaned and placed on a strip of ply wood for staging.
As I rebuilt, I started at the other end of the ply and worked backwards 
putting every thing back.

I never built an engine before, nor changed one. took 3 days of grease & 
grime. Man I was disgustingly dirty after the second day despite the showers 
  :)

Umm, Just remember to tighten the crank shaft bolt REALLY well. Dont ask  :)
