Help and advice ~ head gaskit.

[JimanBensDad]

Ok boys and girls need some help please.

1. How easy is a head gaskit replacement on a 2000, 1.2 clio. Compression test shows no's 2 +3 way down. No overheating, no milky oil, no high temperature. Just need to rev the nuts off it to go anywhere.

2. Is it worth it, time, effort etc when the car was cheap anyway. Had it about 4 months, been really good up till last week.

3. If gaskit is the way forward can someone provide a link as to what to do, tools, whats needed etc.

Once again I thank you from the heart of my bottom, no bottom of my heart.

Ok, so might not be a gasket, Valves??
Last week engine started missing so have done the following;
Full service, changed coil pack, changed ht leads, compression test.

Either way I need a course of action which isnt going to cost an arm and a leg!!??

Cheers

I think the comp test will be a red hearing and you've got a bad seal or something. I's suspect the upper loom causing running problems as it normally does. Needs to go on diagnostics
