Dr Mini's how to refers to a 1275 engine, you wouldn't bother if it was a 998/1100 |

If you do go ahead with it I'll take the Auto box off your hands |

Doing a 998 or 1098 is the same process, except you don't need the oil pump spacer. On a smallbore block, the pump recess depth is the same whether manual or automatic. Not so on a 1275.

Yeah, it's not as though 998s or 1098s are scarce is it. You bust one of these, just pull another out of the pile in the corner..

Scrap men don't pay much for steel scrap now. I was at Sainty Engineering this week, they said that where they used to get $600/ton for steel milling swarf, now they get zip.

i wouldnt bother converting one, as even 1275 manuals are not that hard to get. |
