!.6 16v in a Samurai

[fixkick]

Thanks again for all your help fixkick. Have one more trip to Nashville in the Little Debbie truck today then get the Harley out for vacaction . We are headed up north to St.Paul will see what I can do with it when we get back home. The 1.6 16v is a great little engine but man they are getting harder and harder to find. The first one I bought had a cracked head the second a cracked block. It was cracked from where the main bearing laid clear to the sleeves, in all the motors I have rebuilt through the years it was the first I have seen. I have read lots of your pages ,always a great help!!! Thanks again for all you do for us Suzuki fans!!!

me too,.
took me 3 months ,10 years ago ., to find 3 motors. I posted wtb ON CRAIGS,
FOUND 3, all were "I think it's good", and all 3 bad.. but one of the 3 and only 1 has block that was not cracked.
lucky me....
every one had spun bearings, bad cranks, or cracked blocks and heads.

i can buy cranks and can get them ground cheap.
but i can not fix a cracked block. (not mains)


have a great trip !
