The Raven Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 What about breaking the whole car and buying another one without issues? Whats it worth? Paint isnt great, engine is fobaed. Id more or less have to give it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 mate, get the head off and get it checked, whats the worst that can happen, you find its out of tolerance and have to then scrap it. You have the same symptoms as me my head is coming off on friday so will let you know if thats the culprit, might aid your diagnosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
