Let me get this straight.

You want to put a 1.2 engine in a 172?

My engine is boloxed and am being given a 1.2 engine for free

Its a stupid idea mate, as everyone told you on facebook.

Buy another 172 engine or have the one you have sorted, don't take this the wrong way but your grammar on facebook was too hard to follow. (No offense intended buddy)

 

[BoatNonce]

Use it as a paperweight. Or a coffee table. Or a holder for 4 coke cans. Just don't put it in a 172 shell!

 

[Mr Plums]

Id rather walk than turn a 1*2 into a 1.2 rep

I used my phone to put it on facebook and I need ma car to take ma grandad around and havent got the money to fix my 172 engine yet was going to take it out and rebuild it from the ground up over time

I think we should be fair to the OP

Yes the engine and box will fit, but you will need everything with it...

OP I will take your 172 engine/box/ancillaries/wiring and help you fit your new 1.2 engine etc

Fair enough pal, but seriously - its going to be a lot of hassle for you swapping engines in and out!

Whats the matter with the 2.0 F4R engine???

 

[james199106]

The dephaser pulley needs replacing its burning oil and its got an intermittent missfire

Why is the trolling on this forum so poor?
