Some may remember I had engine problems with my old Corsa (sold it now)

Which resulted in an engine swap:



Well I finally dismantled the old engine last weekend, and I was met with a pleasant surprise!

That's what I thought!

I know I gave it some abuse for 14k miles, I'm pretty sure the guy I bought it off did, and Bri-Sri had it before me so I'm sure he did as it had coilovers, so it had a hard life I think

I'd definitely call that an engine problem

With that many miles it was just its time to go
