Assuming you have the engine, gearbox and shafts, then your options are:
A pre-facelift 1.0l will be ok if you get the gearbox mount
A pre-facelift 1.3l
A facelift non coilpack 1.0l
A facelift non-coilpack 1.3l

You can use the ecu and loom etc thats already on the car. You'll need to source the correct speedo drive aswell mind. You really are better off just buying a 1.3 or facelift 1l and just fitting your engine to it...

The car with coilpack engines have grey, plastic sections on the lower front and rear bumpers.
You don't want ANY parts from these cars.
 
Yeh I know coil is sports bumpers black front on bumper, I mean is the preface the old Micra lights and facelift with new shape lights ?

Non coil pack....... old shape like in enuo profile pic. Separate grill.

Coil pack engine.....newer shape, grilles in bonnet
 
so I need the old shape micra so my engine will fit in, what if I got drive shafts and engine mounts gearbox mounts, will it fit in 1.0 micra am asking coz 1.3 are rare to get theses days,

Get a 97 (or any micra up to a 99) 1.0l...You have a 1.3 auto, so buy another 1.3 and stick the stronger auto parts into the manual 1.3. Then stick that 1.3 onto the 1.0l gearbox, flywheel, etc.

Hope that makes sense, and also hopefully that actually works.

Yeh that does make sence am saying it coz it's easy for me to get 1.0 Micra and I can use my engine and 1.3 gearbox and other stuff if it's a bolt on then yes I'll rather have 1.0 or 1.3 whatever comes

If you use the 1.0l gearbox and running gear (but use a 1.3 engine) you get quicker acceleration, albeit at a lower top speed and lower mpg.
You can even use the 1.0l electrics

Top tensioner locked back?

Are the cam sprockets currently off before you start fitting the chain?

Yes I did put the idler pully on with chain first then ex cam pully 2nd with chain on then last was to wrap the chain on the inlet cam with 22mm nut loose but it just wouldn't go on


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
 
I have cleared things so it's not stopping it from going on but tight fit on the last cam which is the inlet cam with dowel out and the cam out of dowel and got 22mm bolt to tight it but it's not locking in place ?

Yeh did u put the cam shafts bolts on before you put the chain on ?

1. Make sure chain is where you want it on idler then hook and bolt that in place

2.Put the exhaust sprocket in the correct place on the chain then hook it onto the cam and bolt that in

3.Put the inlet sprocket in the correct place on the chain, this wont hook on as youll need to turn the cam so the dowel and locating part meets and then bolt it

4.Now fit the tensioner

Polly your wrong there the cam shaft bolts on the 10 bolts are from 2nm then 6nm and 12 nm I think? The 22mm bolts are right I know that

cam shaft bearing caps are 2 -> 6 -> 11nm, basically just hand tight enough to hold the caps on with common sense of feel. don't force em tight like a bear or you'll strip the threads n ur in trouble.
