Hello to all, not sure if this is the right place to post it, but I consider it as an "upgrade" since my Direct Injection was very worn out, and I got lucky enough to find an 0 our 0 km Montego engine!
So, I got to adapt the exhaust system and turbo to my own air filter.
I really love both engines, mine, has got more than 338 000 km, and it was kind of tired.
returning with my wife to do some things, lost power, I run 5 more block and stop... check oil stick was so clean as an new katana... 0 oil, and the red light niver bright!
I put 4 oil liters, and start it again... it runs, and go home (I know that was bad, but I need to return any way) it runs for more than 8 km, and at 50 meters from home, quit!
I was very sad, because I love this car, and te spare parts here are almost impossible to find.
Next day, I bring it to my garage, and star to look for used part, to repair mine.
In a place like e-Bay I find a men who advertise an "new Maestro engine, never used, 0 km" I got to ask him "sorry, but, what you mean with 0 km never used???"
And the men told me the history, this engine was bring here by the official distributor, many years ago, never sold, never used, the distributor closed, and parts and engine go to auction, his father buy it, but never use... and he sold to me!
I´m VERY LUCKY GUY!
the old direct injection was very tired!
here, you can see the two beast!
new one with all the seals!
I got to go now, but later I retake the history!
regards to all
Henry
