Chris, as far as differences between a-c and d-e motors, there probably is not much if anything of the long motor thats different. There will be some major differences in sensors etc though, if the turbo motors are anything to go by. Different oxy sensors, different injectors, fuel rails, etc.
You could get a later model engine, and do what I did and remove all the bolt on stuff (manifolds, sensors, etc) and just switch them over. Something to be wary of will be the cam gear and crank pulley - they might have different pickup points for the sensors (like the B4 motors I had issues with). Its surprisingly easy to do too.

Too be honest I cbf doin an engine change at all, I'll degrease it today and see wat I can find... My bother doesnt think its my head gasket coz I'm not overheating at all but we shall see...

[allpaw4]

Run the engine with the radiator cap off. If its a leaking head gasket, you'll get bubbles in the coolant. Otherwise its just another oil leak.

If it's the rear main, I'd suggest giving it a go yourself, I found a walkthrough on rslc for removing the gearbox that I used, pretty easy, just awkward. If you have acres to a hoist or proper tools it's not too hard. Otherwise I'd suggest waiting til you do the clutch cos a mechanic will charge a fair bit, which I think isn't worth it for a seal

Not my mechanic, free access to a hoist n tools at will plus will give me a hand for nothing! He owes my old man n bro for fitting out a whole lot of 3 phase through his workshop 4 nothing so free pink slips, labour n workshop use for whenever I need to!

dont be fooled if its not overheating, i just had my gaskets replaced during the week, he showed me what the old head gaskets looked like and they were ROOTED, and i never had overheating before it got changed just alot of leaking, very unresponsive and that putrid burnt coolant smell each time i drove it... now that i got it fixed she runs beautiful again

Awesome!!!

[SAV84C]

After degreasing my whole engine yday I manage to find the source of the leak... Some very f**kin minor... Seems as the clamps were loose but will watch it closely during the week

[Alex]

Replace hose.

Replace clamp.

Continue life.

Ok I'm kinda over the colour of my CS9s.
