Post by Sud 145 »

Replacement engine - No 198A4.000 for my '59 plate Mito 1.4 T-Jet T120. Don't ask it's too sad.

Was your replacement engine bare with no ancillaries or did it come with a turbo?
I can't remember if your original one picked up damage when the engine went pop!
Hope you are back on the road with it soon mate, good luck.

Engine came without Keith but found one that has only done 34K and has no play in it at all. Onwards and upwards.

I know, but they are very good for normal stuff as well as development work.
I was very pleased with their work on my jtd when the clutch needed doing, and their price was no more than my local garage would have charged but they knew what they were doing and I got them to run in a few things that came to light while the engine was out.

Great news Tony, sorry you had to go through the pain in the first place, but good to hear you are back on the road with lower mileage on the replacement engine.
