I noticed a bit of endfloat on the mk1 and mk2 1.8 engines and thought I'd check it out while they were easy to access.the mk1 1.8 had 120,000 on the clock and was o.oo6" which is the new spec! I knew this engine had been well looked after. The mk2 had 170,000 on the clock and it measured o.oo8", Wow still within the wear limits too!I was impressed!
