A few years ago I bought a Unipart recon engine from a yard in Birmingham who had a bought up a load of Rover stock when they shut down for my 1986 Maestro. It's been sat in my garage ever since mine has been running well. I have now decided to fit it and opened up the packaging and was a bit disappointed to find the engine is different. It is definitely an S series, but it has an oil filler cap on top of one of the cam covers and therefore a different breather system. Three small inlet pipes on the sump, no hole for the flame arrester, the adapter plate is different, no holes for the strengthening plate from sump to it and the oil filler neck inlet is at the back of the engine not the front of the adapter plate.
My plan is to swap the sump, adapter plate over from my old engine and put it in. Is there any other problems I may encounter and what is this engine originally for?
Any advice and thoughts very mush appreciated.
Thanks David
