Pugnut 9 1 Cars Posted December 16, 2007 if your on a tight budget and are unsure of the engine condition then you should at least swap out the big end bearings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M@tt 77 Posted December 17, 2007 in terms of rebuiild guide your best bet is to get a 405 haynes manual that will give you all the correct torque settings etc (cheap off amazon market place or ebay) there is also a mi16 guide pdf, i dont think i've got a link here @ work but i'll dig it out later. Its more of a technical spec for the Mi16 than a step by step rebuild guide but might be work a look. its worth taking laods of pictures before you start so you can refer to them when you don't know where that remaining pipe or handfull of bolts go that you took off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3Evo 0 Posted December 17, 2007 Didn't someone have the Pug rebuild manual kicking about somewhere? Used this when rebuilding Stu's engine, was very useful for getting the liner protrusions right and things like that. Do have to ignore the many special tools it wants you to use though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
