H22 engine

[mercutio]

it needs crank seal doing, as well as a number of other very awkward time consuming jobs done, and the engine is already partly in bits and all the mechanics he knows will not commit the time to help him finish it

so better option is to find a complete working h22 and drop it straight in, then sell the old one to recoup some of the cash as he's not up to fixing it himself, and i dont blame him lol

Next door is fixing my prelude but said he's gonna struggle as he doesn't know where to begin

Doesn't look too shabby. Provided you have all the bits, I would have thought that's a relatively straightforward rebuild for anyone used to working on cars and with access to the service manual.

It just saves time really, I'll be selling the one I have now cheap though

It's only moving one physical object from A to B and then B back to A, how hard can it be?

[mercutio]

when A is the Engine and B is a Big Box of Bits then the intervening wait is a couple of weeks then B being the Big Box of Bits and A being the Engine i dont think i would trust you to carry B to A never mind put it all back together

Well new engine collected so mine will be up for sale, cheap

That's a bit confusing TBH. It will take far less time to rebuild the timing belt side of the existing engine than it will to swap the engine, but your call.
