I was told the inlet is different,the pipes,but im not sure on that.

No really,check for cracks in the head,ive seen some right behind the mani.
Check for leaks around the head.
Check the sump for shite.

oh ill try but i doubt it.. found a engine in limerick wit 3 months warranty but the feckin thing was 1300euro and that was a 98..(KEEP IT!!!) searched the country for an engine and couldnt source one and this one cropped up so im taking it.. im fairly well up on mechanics so ill strip her down and look for wear.. if shes ok ill change the big end bearings and head gasket anyway for peace of mind...
