lee grout Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Assume the engine is b0ll0x3d then after the cam belt incident? Whats the engine going in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james08 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 no idea if its any good, i think the head was warped on it as i could see small bubbles from by the head gasket when one of the core plugs dribbled enough water to reach it so i thought by the time ive took the head off had it skimmed, fitted a new head gasket, repaired the core plug, checked for any damaged valves and put a new cambelt and water pump on it i may aswel swap the engine the new engine is a turbo diesel so an upgrade at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
