    disasterous day

    Had the ported and polished cylinder head pressure tested today....
    ****ing oil started pissing out through hairline cracks.... the head is effectively scrap metal.

    most annoyed as it will delay me a good week or so.. unless i decide to utilise my cylinder head....hmmmm. Cheesed off.

    at least it wasnt fitted to the car! lol... £200+ notes thrown away....well at least i get some valves lifters and cams.

    WANTED: Williams Cylinder head or 1.8 16v one at a good cheap price is poss many thanks, gibbo
