Re: 1.7 and 2.0 O series compatibility. Replacement or replacement parts
I have spare 1700 lying around although dont know how good it is, dont think it's seized. Will have to check. Im currently rebuilding a 2000 O series engine to back in my marina. But I will be keeping the original 1700 that came out, see the thread about Gold mk3 Sent from my SM-G981B using Tapatalk
