Not a good day. ![]() Car went to my mate to have the cambox gasket fitted & cure the oil leak. It was only a couple of miles to the garage. Inlet valve stuck open & the piston hit it. So now it needs a head over haul as well. One new inlet at least. Waiting to find out if the head is ok to recon. It had a turbo gasket on it. This is going to hurt. Could have got a new head off ebay for £45 recently. Why didn't I? ![]() It was all nearly sorted as well. |

Buggeration ![]() Was it a valve spring broke you think? Who have you got looking at the head then? |

It's gone to a machine shop in Oldham to see if it's saveable. The valve was badly discoloured so it must have been sticking for a while. The head gasket looked like it was nearly dead. Theres a nasty lump on the alloy that looks like the casting may have been leaking! If so the heads stuffed. So yes it's a more bad luck. Valve springs look ok. They will be tested if the heads ok. Somewhat disapointed. The pressure to sell is mounting.(Darn't tell the wife. That would be it.) Just searched ebay & there are no heads available at all. |

Have you seen this post? viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1734 There is a cylinder head listed, albeit with bent valves, maybe worth checking to see if it is still available? |

If it is salvagable you will presumably want all new springs and perhaps stem seals too? Fingers x'd for you mate. Adam edit: and a new gasket of course! |
