Engine knock

[ant1985]

Guys i swapped the engine out of my 182 ( the aux tensioner broke and bent valves etc ) So dropped in a working engine, i have replaced the clutch, water pump thermostat, new plugs, fluids, new tensioner and aux belt. The engine has had a 900 quid bill for cambelt dephaser.

So i have dropped the engine in but it now makes this noise.

I have just swapped the TDC sensor and dephaser solenoid and will refire it. The noise appears to be coming from the middle of the intake.

Sounds like a lawnmower. I heard dephasers as new are not as good as the originals. I hope it isn't a duff one.

Well after a few revs it ends up stalking and misfiring. Is this what s dephaser can do ?

UPDATE,

turned out injector 1 wasn't working when i went through disconnecting the wiring to each one when it was running.

Now it runs fine and has no fault codes hopefully its sorted.
