so they cant swim eh

i will be need in a new motor soon for my 2000 protege 1.6. anyone know a good spot to get one im in eastern canada. how much work would it be to put a 2.0 in it.

 

2.0 should bolt right up without any problems

 

wolud the wiring be the same

 

as long as you stay with the same year model and basic options, the wiring would be the same. for example, you couldn't convert an ABS system to non-ABS.

 

maybe ill go with a 2.0 then if i can find one at a decent price

 

you will have to get a longblock because the head won't fit from 1.6 to 2.0

 

so i drained the water out of the motor changed the oil and its running. well sorta its got a low end tick you can harldy hear it when in the car. any idea what this might be

fixable or line up a new motor??
doesnt seem to be down on power or anything.

 

probably a valve tick. the valves probably got stuck when it got wet and one of them is probably hitting the top of one of the pistons.run a compression test to find outif this is it or not.i would do a valve job and throw on a new head gasket.
