1 X 1600 with blown head gasket, i had 2 qoutes one qoute for $600-$800 to fix, and one for $300, my situation is if it cost to much to fix the 1600 (which has only 100,000k) then i would rather buy new engine with more power (as you do) so if anyone is interested in gaining a 1600 cheaply or swapping it for something better then call me on 0401582234
SO BASICALLY I MIGHT NEED A NEW ENGINE AND I WANT SOMEFEED BACK ON WHATS FOR SALE... please |

Blown gasket... for 300-800 bucks......hahahha
$60-for gem VRS kit- head gasket, inlet, exhaust, stem seals and more
Depending if it needs it, $45- head shave
Do the work yourself in a few hours. thats about 100 bucks for the lot. spend the excess if you have it on a port job and your laughing.
tell those who quoted you theyre dreaming.
good luck |

Dodgy what do you mean. What do you think all the lads n lasses here do when their heads warped, get it shaved, although some may have it straightened but shaving is a more common procedure. An added bonus is an increase in compression, this alone is motivation for some to get their head shaved, warped or not.
get it shaved, do the work yourself or get someone who does for a carton |

RUBY you have to take the head to a shop where they mechine heads, speak to a mechanic and they should be able to point you in the right direction.
Good Luck. |
