Drop Matt black on here a message best option is a second hand engine from him.
Still its not cheap.

leicester gonna try hill power

 

[Tom_172]

or like u say another engine how much can u get 1 4?

 

[Andy GDI]

cheaper to fix it.... done a few of these recently...

can be done in 2-3 days

 

[The Fatty]

2 - 3 days! thats a long time! why dont you just buy a second hand head....or fix yours, it can be done faster than 3 days...

 

[Andy GDI]

sorry should have put "ALLOW" 2-3 days including waiting.... might need new guides...etc so would have to be engineered. (this is fixing yours!)

2nd hand head is an option.... some people dont want to do that...

its about 11hrs book time.... if you rushed and made mistakes and cut corners it could be done faster.

and as quoted by himself, not if you want a proper job doing if something is a miss or could do with doing but isnt 100% essential i'd still rather do it. do the job right or not at all which is a very good business attitude

how does the timing belt slip on a poly v belt?

 

[bmh.01]

how does the timing belt slip on a poly v belt?

Too much slack i'd guess, could be a failed tensioner or idler.

 

[Tom_172]

hello

think i'm gonna go the route of a 2nd hand engine or a new 1.

or if any body knows where there is a head 4 sale i'd buy that.

 

[ben_p]
