You were lucky then, we ended up replacing the engine my mums 2.0 mondy, the metal bar dropped inside the head, wrecked the inlet valve, which dropped into the cylinder, smashed the piston face, the exhaust valve and fucked up the bore !
That was at the time when the engines were still 900 quid too, so we bought a low mileage engine and spent another 700'ish quid on the redesigned manifold and all the shit to go with it.
