Taking my engine to pieces!

[Ryan]

Decided to strip the engine 2nite to see what the damage was to consider either putting her back on the road or selling for scrap! Details Here!


Me and a friend of mine took it apart in just over an hour which I was quite impressed at!! Anyways the damage is; 3 Exhaust gaskets and 2 Inlet gaskets! could have been better but could have been a lot worse!!

Priced it up and for the gaskets, timing belt and new head gasket set its £101 inc. VAT. What do you's think I should do? Fix it or scrap? Bearing in mind I will be selling it right away if I fix it.

Happened at the worst possible time! right when I was about 2 put it up for sale!!

So none of the valves are bent at all? That would be a miracle!

Lol just read my post again, I was tired last night when I wrote it!!

Its 3 exhaust valves and 2 inlet valves lol!! So five altogether. I was thinking about fixing it up again but the MOT is up in feb and it needs some work for that so i really dont think its worth it. It will cost be about £250 to get a years mot on it.

Its on ebay just now, with bids up to £150 so if I get about £200 I think I will just cut my loses and take that!
