What year and capacity is it??
pre-85 was KA-KB, 1.5L
85-87 was KC, 1.3-1.6L
87-90 was KE, 1.6L
90-92 was KF, 1.6-1.8L
best bet is to rip the crank out and re-bearing the one you have, as most are on their way out at this point in time.
Cheers, Owen

Thanks Owen, i've got him on the case to find out what the car actually is
he's not too mechanically minded so it's a bit tough...
yar, for them it's a toss up between dumping the car and gettign a cheap motor... if i was in Oz, i probably would just chuck new bearings in and see how long it lasted...
but.... meh
