hi
I own a 1988 110 2.5 td , I recently replaced the 19j block and head for reconditioned units I bought on eBay , the mechanic has installed the units and the car runs and sounds fine , just really is gutless , it’s even worse than the old engine ! On its first run out after the swop it snapped a rocker , which the mechanic couldn’t come up with a reason for it happening, just replaced it with one from the old head .
He suggested maybe the turbo could do with replacing ?
It’s still early days as I only got it back from him yesterday.
Any views or advise on the subject would be appreciated.
Thanks.
