as the topic suggessts, im looking at a engine transplant, ive a 02 omega, 3.2 v6, its letting in water in the rocker cover gaskey, think im down to 4 cylinders too, i was thinking of putting a smaller engine in, was wondering what fits, the car is a work horse so i want to have a bit of torque without the hugh fuel consumption!
 any recommendations or does anyone have an engine for sale even?!

[Darth Loo-knee]

Why not sort out the problem?  Forgive me for saying but why buy a V6 3.2 engined car if your after MPG?

Misfire issues on the 3.2 are well documented here and easily sorted as Daz has suggested, but people can't be bothered to search for anything

Fix the scuttle, then change the coilpacks and it will be fine

If this is too difficult, you might find it easier to pull the engine and replace it with a 1.3CDTi lump. That will be easier and save you loads of money once you've got it running

and a 0-60 of errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrNEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
or another option go very very very very very medieval old school and hitch up some shire hores,plenty of torque and only 2 horsepower

[05omegav6]

Probably more reliable as well

[Sir Tigger KC]

Fix the scuttle

That's impossible!!   I was thinking about getting rid of mine and replacing with a length of guttering.... 

[Webby the Bear]

i'm thinkin' if you have the mechanical know how of being able to pull an engine and swap it for a new one you'll be able to swap the coil packs and seal up the scuttle. 

[martin42]

Webby don't confuse matters ,coil pack change ,15 mins,seal scuttle 5 mins,engine transplant days,can we have a poll on this

[2woody]

actually, the 3.2 manual is just about the most economical Omega in the range

That's what I meant mate... easier to sort that than pull out an engine 

[kevinp58]

Should have brought a weasel Mate 

[dbug]

I've got an old Hillman Imp engine here mate

[allen25]

You could sort the issues and consider running on LPG I suppose? Engine swap does sound a bit drastic. If you do swap it, make sure the 3.2 manual goes to a good home!

Little chance of that, given its location
