Hey all, well its time for a major re-build, My engine has slightly died, blown the head gasget, bent a valve, 2 hydraulic lifters have collapsed, and the head is a bit melted between no 3 & 4 cylinders!
Should keep me busy for a while
Thanks Kerry for hostin the pics! Your a Star!!

Blown Gasget

Slightly burnt head (you can just see where on the right hand side between no. 3 & 4 cylinders

I still dont know, thats what I'm trying to figure out, I think the oil pump has gone as they were a bit dry & stiff when I took them out, and I think the cambelt was loose as its missing a few teeth on it! Shitty local garage grrrrr... still I dont really mind, just makes me want tyo put a new engine in more and more!!
