K-engine project - A possible low cost rebuild?

[beinet1]

Hi all,

For a few days ago, I got hold of two 1.8 Freelander engines which was sold "as scrap". The engines was bought more or less for fun to see if there are any useable "spares" to take from them or if it is possible to do a "low cost" engine rebuild based on the parts available from the two + neccesary new wear parts and gaskets. The rebuilt engine does not need to be "as new" when rebuilt, but in a condition where it will be able do thousands of more trouble free miles.
The first thing to do, is to partly strip the engines and check the status of the parts.
