Engine Replacement Problem

Post by ChrisJop17 »

i've recently changed the engine in my 1.0 corsa as it decided to blow up and throw bits of piston around the block then seize up, but when i tried to start it after i finally fitted the new engine (another 1.0) there was nothing there, not even a click from the started motor which was fine before i removed it from the other car, does anyone have a idea what i can try? Because it has me stumped

Is there power at ignition or just nothing
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
