Hey, Thanks for the advice- got a set of 6 from Ebay for £100. Any idea of the gap clearance for the Denso IK20's? Cheers Bill

Hey Jeffrosie, Sorry I didn't see your reply earlier. I went for a second hand engine with 40k on it. Wish I'd seen your post!! I'm local to you as well, based in Chessington. You wouldn't happen to have 6 coil packs for sale would you? All the best. Bill

Hey, Thanks for the reply mate. I watched the plugs going in so I know that they weren't brushed. Is it easy to rectify the gaps between the plugs if that's an issue? Also, my mechanic recommends 6 new coil packs...Do you reckon I should avoid second-hand low mileage coil packs? Cheers Bill

Hi there, I had a 2nd hand lower mileage engine fitted recently but had to use my old coil packs which have had to have 3 replaced in the last year or so. The car has started to run really lump again when starting from cold but 15 minutes into a journey it ran normally again. However, yesterday the engine warning light flashed and then stayed on solidly. A diagnostic found multiple mis-fires on cylinders 2,4 and 5. When it was cleared the light came back on and the diagnostic machine then read mis-fire in cylinder 4 only. My mechanic reckons I'll need 6 band new coil packs (which will be v. expensive). Does anyone have any advice or indeed 6 coil packs for sale? The car recently had a set of IK20 sparks fitted. Many thanks in advance. Bill

Hi there, Looking ideally for a cylinder head or failing that a complete engine for my manual IS200 Sport- 51 plate. Anyone have something like this for sale? Cheers Bill

Hey Thanks for the reply. I'll scan Ebay for a second hand engine and take my chances!! Cheers Bill

Hi there I'm a complete newbie on these boards and a bit thick when it comes to cars. My beloved IS200 Sport broke down recently after a long journey. Radiator and expansion tank need to be replaced but more serious is the damage to the cylinder head. Valves 2-5 are kaput. Took it to a rebore specialist who told me that the head is basically scrap. My question is really what can I do from here? The car is in great condition so I am loathe to sell it for peanuts as a project for someone on Ebay... Can I get another cylinder head or would a second hand engine be the best bet? The car has 104,000 on the clock. All advice would be very gratefully received. Cheers Bill
