I think I am about to find out. Went to replace a front crank seal on my MX5.....and this is what greeted me....

Attachment 221961

It is either pull engine remove crank- repair (Bro in law is a recon guy) and replace or fit a replacement motor which I have bought....

Pulling motor means new clutcu while I am in there, AC delete while I can access it (Has not wprked for years ...) and a few extra bits as well.....

Theres one on the yellow site with a 4.0l Lexus V8 in it........I am happy with the original 1600. If I want speed I have a couple with two wheels that will satisfy that fix....one is about the same size (1520cc flat 6....)

And 5 speed is a given. The new motor I am getting comes from a mates donor car as he has converted a 96 auto to manual with the gear box from the crashed donor...
