Smoking 1300 x flow
I've got a 1300 x flow which is due to be replaced with a 1600. I'd like to be able to sell the 1300 engine but it seems to be running
very poorly. It's totally gutless (even for a 1300), uses a lot of petrol and smokes from the oil filler on the rocker box. Any ideas?

Sell it running but requiring rebuild, sounds tired rings, bores probably valve seats & guides too.

Check the breather isn't blocked maybe?

Thanks I'll try the breather first and then take it to bits. I doubt I'd get much for a 1300 cross flow.

Do a compression test before you pull it apart, but tbh it does sound pretty goosed

1300 pistons fit 1600 engines and give more compression
Whip out the pistons, keep them for your 1600 and flog the other bits

Good idea. The 1600 I have is a 691 block. Will the 1300 pistons still fit. Is it just a case of getting appropriate rings and popping them in?

Depends on if they are both on the same rebore size.

Off topic slightly, is there that much difference between a 711 block and a 691 block given that i don't want to increase the capacity nor do i
want an engine that revs to 10000! Just a mild tune.

In a 681 the crank journals are narrower and the cam followers are thinner. This wouldn't be an issue for a mild tune

It's actually a 691 block and from what I can gather the bottom end is the same as a 711 but the rest is as per the 681 block.
By the way, what does "u2u" mean? Am I being a numpty?

Click on u2u just under the L of Locostbuilders at the top left hand corner of most pages of the forum , it's an internal email system .
I'm a complete numpty when it comes to PCs but even I worked it out
