Not so keen on the jellybeans although I was quite partial to a Fruit Salad.

2.2 is just a taller block with the same bore, just stroked, so the gasket set should be fine.

unsure about the headbolts though  :-?

Where did that jack come from? Looks ideal for fitting under a Westfield!

Bit concerned that the gasket is for a 2.0 but if the bore's the same I guess the gasket is also the same..

Jack looks good, though is flipping heavy - I've still got square gonads from carrying it  :o

nicely spotted Markie  :) yup!

I think the gasket set is ok, as its the same bore. Its just the head bolts which concern me slighlty, as they say they are for the 1.8/2.0, and people say the 2.2 block is higher???

Kevin - Jack is from Costco £65 inc VAT.

Very impressed its ultra low.... and very deep. I can measure its height if you like?
