My car is broken!! The mechanic says the head gasket and two valves are fcucked!! The thing that really pisses me off is that I only had the head skimmed 4 months ago and that cost me £500!! Now ive gotta fork out another £650!!!!!!

for £650 it ain't worth fixin. rip the engine out, bin it, and get a 2ltr fitted for just over 1k

phone liverpool vic, they'll insure you. you'll get a low mileage engine (is it a c14xe?) for £350 ish anyway, still cheaper than fixing the old one.
