Hi
I'm new to this site and too Jimny ownership.
I'm picking up a 2006 Jimny with a sick engine (head gasket gone, no idea what state the head is in).
Rather than fixing the engine (which is on 130k) I was thinking about replacing it.
I've seen a M13A from a Suzuki Swift (2005-110 for sale at a reasonable cost with 80k on.
Can someone let me know if this is also a VVT engine and will it fit in and connect up to the Jimny loom and gearbox?
many thanks
Tom

Yes that age will be a VVT. But while you're at it you might as well fit a 1.5. It's exactly the same amount of work and the extra power is very welcome.

You will be using the jimny flywheel and clutch.
Edit: that said, they might be similiar or even equal. (SJ 1985), Jimny G and Jimny M all got the "same" clutch so might even be the same on other Suzukis.
