No i'm not pleased one bit! the cars slow, underpowered.. does handle VERY well for a big car tho... and i've had non stop problems with it! i'm selling up and going back to jap when fixed.

the put it in gear and push it fward a bit the compression in the chamber as the pistn rises may pop the head off

i like turbo's

i was thinking about it tho, if i find a nice one with full kit and big rims etc.. i may put up with a N/A one, not sure tho at mo. would like one and be cheaper on insurance, do u know what grp the N/A is ?

adam.. to do that i'd have to put it all back together tho minus the headbolts.

cant tell ya right now
hes fell asleep

but in the pics the exhaust and inlet manifold are still attached.
it wont come off with these on thell be holding it on the only other way i know off is to get a air compressor connect it to where the plug is and pump air in itll eith piss out of where the head gasket has gone or itll pop the head off

each plug hole is one sealed unit so u do one and it may lift it off ar itll piss outta gasket hole
u cud try fittin plugs in and putting it ingear and push it so the piston compresses it and pops it off failing that does the head have lift eyes for when u tek engine out try a engine lift hoist
