Head Gasket

[egor110]

Bugger my gamble with the 182 has failed .

Been really spluttey so tried used injectors and plugs which made no difference so stuck it in for a compression test and leak down test .

1=9.5 bar
2=8 bar
3=6 bar
4=5 bar

so seems to be head gasket leak between 3 and 4 .

To sort this i guess i'm looking at head gasket kit , then cambelt , dephaser and water pump , plus all fluids or take a gamble on a used engine but then that would need cambelt etc replaced.

Bit of a bummer as it only passed it's mot in may.

Annoying the timing of these things, think I’d personally get it fixed as first choice

3rd option is just sell it , i've got my puma which is running fine so can use that for track days etc.
