gutted I've been skanked with this engine. had the stem seals done and its no better and smoking pretty much all the time.

Think I might just go with my original idea and get that loan through 1.9 tall block for the torque aspect is a strong possibility as not keen on the zvh idea.
was well keen for specialised engines to sort this but ive notice some bad things written about them?

any suggestions and how much? what would you do? cheers Kev ps diamond cut alloys
