Such a shame mate, as said I'd say you were better of getting it apart and re-building it - valves hitting the piston can cause tapping very loudly as I found out! Still ran whilst it was hitting

Hopefully you sort something out will be a shame not to have you there on the weekend

Rebuild is the only way for these engines these days.

Seen so many go in without work being done and gone wrong but have seen vica versa. Shame its gone this route but if you rebuild correctly and fully you should have a stronge engine. Possible get some head work done whilst being rebuilt.

yep, id rebuild it as well instead of finding another. its not massively expensive really considering it will be a fresher engine than another one with questionable history etc.

actually gutted dan, was really looking forward to seeing your vehicle this weekend. was on my list of things to see. true story.
