What "project" did you do? If you have metal in the oil, sounds like possible oil starvation. Regardless, we are talking about a rebuild most likely. NOT WORTH IT.....Another 1.6L will be the cheapest and easiest fix...check ebay...I have spotted them for around $400-$500 on a regular basis..Also check www.car-part.com
the project i have done was rebuilding a kit car. a shelby cobera kit model
i havnt finished it yet. the motors are a little confusing getting toward the transmission and trying to put a shortshifter. tight space
