These cars really dislike me, I had my last one all of 6 week before its head gasket went, so I thought. Changed that and still no better, so pulled the head off, which a presure test revealed a crack. Saved up for a while till I could afford another head, rebuilt it and again still no better. Full engine out and stripped, mostly in the kitchen (sorry mam). Pressure test on the block revealed a cracked cylinder liner, so the liner was replaced and the engine rebuilt using all ARP stuff. After running it in for 1000 miles I put my foot down and up shot the temp gauge. Bugger!!!! My guess is it had done another liner cos I only had 1 replaced. I got made an offer from a lad who was desperate for it, £3800 for a Cossie needing a block was good money to me so he got it. In total I had drove the car for 9 weeks max out of the 8 month I owned it. He had it 2 weeks and sold it on for a loss. The lad who got it after that put a head on it and found out it wasnt the problem so its current state is now bare shell in process of being made a big power show car.
Now Im having running problems and getting gyp off this one, Im definately cursed!!!
