I hope I haven't confused people. It is an 1100S motor not a Cooper S motor I know that. I was just curious that if one day I decide to buy a Cooper S and something goes wrong with the motor (assuming I keep it) could I swap the motors over without too much buggerising around

my original S motor is safely on the shelf and I'm on my 3rd or 4th 1100S block...

Thanks again for your reply
Just curious how you store your engine for long periods of time?

Yes that is what I would suggest. Store the original Cooper S motor and run the 1100S while you have fun.

Best of both worlds!

Why are you going through so many blocks?!

Glad they are 1100S lumps not S blocks though!

Simon is one of those well known Khana-hoons who live for pulling (there handbrakes) and doing tight turns at silly speeds.... :arrow: :lol:
