you could pretty much say rebuilt half the engine, although the chap at the garage said there was only 6-8 valves damaged. i decided to replace all 24 of them, water pump, full new belt kit, tensioner, pullies, had the head skimmed, new head gasket.
cost just under £700.
But its been well worth it, the car seems soooo much smoother than it was before and the power delivery seem alot better aswell. ive got it booked to get it on the rolling road on the 15th of november.
if any one else is interested in getting there lex on the rolling road give me a shout we still have a few space available. we have arrange he rolling dat out via another form im a menber on.
