I recently brought a 2003 jcw (200bhp) edition with a very very noise engine. I thought the noise was a snapped valve bouncing around inside but after taking the head of earlier I found that it is small end bearing failure. There is no point in me rebuilding the engine as replacements are so cheap.
I'm looking at dropping an s engine in and fitting my supercharger to it.
I heard that the only difference engine wise between the s and 200bhp jcw engine is the supercharger and the exhaust ports are ported.
I can port the exhaust ports on the s engine no problem. Are there any other engine changes to be aware of? Cheers
