ocean, if u change ur block, legally, u've converted ur engine from 1.3 to 1.5. U have 2 options :
1. Register with JPJ
2. Erase the serial number on the 1.5 block, then re-write the 1.3 serial number onto the 1.5 block. In KL people have been doing this, JB I don't know lar.
To convert ur block, u'll need the block itself, then pistons, oil sump, conrods & crankshaft. Finding a 1.5 block is hard. Reboring a 1.3 block to 1.5? U'll need to bore by 4 mm, that's huge and not very reliable in long term, better find a 1.5 block. I also got a 1.5 block (block+crankshaft+conrods but no piston) for free ;) but not yet going to put it into my engine, coz I want to "bikin" the block first. Need money first :ph34r: Now the block is lying in my house waiting for its fate. Ironic is that I transported that heavy & oily & slimy block on the bonnet of my own car :)
