I will be fitting another m20 into my touring soon and id like to refresh any seals/gaskets that can leak prior to fitting can anyone give me a list of what they would replace prior to fitting.
I will definatly be doing the sump gasket, rocker, crank seal and inlet gaskets and the timing belt.
And if i decide to get the injectors cleaned who is recomended and roughly what cost

Whats wrong with the engine thats in there mate ? apart from the slight hunting at idle which seems to be standard issue on a lot of M20's it sounded pretty sweet when I saw it last ?

Theres a few little issues but the engine iv got my hands on is from a low mileage sport which i know ran perfect.
Mine needs a clutch,water pump gasket as it leaks and a general tidy up this was cheaper than buying the clutch and the replacement comes with a near new clutch so why not lol.
