STEADS Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 If you decide to take the head off and it's wrecked and pistons are ok I have my mates old motor still in the yard should have a decent head on it as we suspect a ring had worn .so if it helps that's available .

swhite87 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Cheers for the reply's well i stripped it this morning and we have atleast 6 bent valves on the inlet side, the other cam has free movement on it as well so not good, looks like 3 of the pistons have been damaged in the process too so it may be going to the car park in the sky if i cant source another engine fairly quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
