With the engine now removed from my 1980 Opel Kadett I could start preparing the engine bay to receive my 1.3 OHC engine which was rebuilt by Cork Engine Centre a number of years ago, using parts from one that had rallied during the the 80's and 90's and completed 3 Circuit of Ireland rallies. It looked it too, with a very battered sump and what turned out to be a bent crankshaft. After some 'carchaeology' a replacement crank was found, polished and fitted.
