Hi All

Following on from my HG thread on PCGB, a boroscope has revealed water ingress in cylinder 4, presume HG, but more problematically cylinder 2 has heavy bore scoring and oil ingress, presume ring failure being the cause. Either way it's a big blow.

So I'm either looking at getting the block fixed or replacing it. Is the turbo block different to a non turbo block I suppose is the first question?

Another option is a 2nd hand engine from a silver rose, 110k miles, is on the bay for 3.5k at the moment. Apparently runs fine with no oil or water usage. Possibly I could recover money from selling my head etc.?

Also money is tight at the moment so I could really do with the cheapest proper solution I can get.

Advice please?

Gutted

Stuart
