so stupid question alert (as peugots arent my corner of expertise) but its a 1.9 16valve, 4 wheel drive ?
excuse me for sounding rude, but is it one of those pointless fashionable 1990s all wheel drive executive saloon things that most of the car manufacturers were playing at, like cavalier gsi 2000 4x4.

As you said.not your corner of expertise.yes its a 1.9 alloy block And yes its 16 valve. As for pointless executive saloon thing. NO In its day it was a world class touring car and also and a world beating paris dakar Rally car in the form of the T16 and also a pikes peak winner several times over Hope this is of help THANKS OWEN |

I didnt mean it to sound insulting, just that manufacturers went through a phase of 4 wheel driving the 4 door saloons, my comment being that 4 wheel drive was pointless fashion, not the vehicle itself. (which would be ironic as my first car was to be a 405 GR in 1996) I suppose necessary for homologation do you know what 4 wheel drive setup it has ? perm, viscous, selectable ? |

do you know what 4 wheel drive setup it has ? perm, viscous, selectable ? Torsen rear and viscous centre, even though it didn't really need the extra traction it makes for a very sweet drive. And it's great fun in the snow. |

Was just going to say, you should use the caps from the original block, not the one that were used with the other crank. You should always keep the same caps to the same main bearing/con rod when rebuilding and also the right way round. |

Is this a similar system to the Mercedes/Citroen suspension, with the gas-filled spheres? Can be a expensive PITA, but is totaly awesome when working |

It's a BX 4x4 rear. And they're much simpler than the Mercedes system, really not complex.
I had a GLx4 back in the day; much better than a VW syncro, inferior to Quattro of the time. Odd trick was the workshop position on the Pugs, turned them into a snowplough.
