Hi,

So I managed to find someone that is selling a BP engine with the wiring etc, except for the gearbox for about 100 sterling as he wants to get rid of every part he has
the engine has about 70k miles on the clock.

I have a 1.6 SOHC engine and am considering to buy this engine and the question is can I fit my current engine gearbox to the bp engine? is it direct bolt on as I heard from the seller that it is direct bolt on.

As for the price, is it worth it? I mean I think the price is really cheap and since I am considering to have this BP engine as a project. I am planning to keep the engine stored in my garage for like 2 years until I can afford to do the project. Since the seller is going to scrap the engine for metal this month might as well buy it so atleast it would be mine.

What do you guys think?

Yes this is possible. your 1.6 gearbox will fit the BP engine. I have done it my self and this works just fine, alwell on the road and on the track.

putting a engine for years is not a good thing but if you put a bit of oil in the cilinders and crank the crankshaft every 2 months it will do the trick. few cc of oil, or every cranksession a can of WD40

I See good to know. How do i put alittle bit of oil in the cylinders? through the sparkplug holes?

how much is a cc of oil?

Hi, yes just drop in a few cc of sprays of WD40 in the sparkplug holes.

few is cc maybe 10 of 20cc of a 3sec. spray of wd40 something like that.
Its only to cover the cylinder walls as it is bare metal, what can rust if you put is away for a long time.

I see. Ok i will do that.
