its defintily not a bent valve anyhow,jamie knows his stuff and i got no argument that what he told poom was wrong, i wouldnt be surprised if th epistons were knackered and the crank aswell
full boost with no control over will do a lot of damage to an engine, i know my self as ive been there aswell, but was my own fault
poom wait until you hear from jamie mate, and see if you can come to an arrangement, hes very resonable

I have an engine he can have. It'd need collected from Paisley, but if he's stuck I;d be happy for him to take it. Just the bare block and head mind you, no manifolds etc. It's an EFi engine too.

Well, if his head is undamaged, he can use that with my bottom end. Sorted. Be cheaper than building a new engine including grinding the crank etc

It's no problem mate. I've been there, but it was before passionford existed so I sat on the side on the M8 arguing with the AA call centre operator

No problemo fella, i hope that it doesn't result in that needing to happen for your sake, i too know what its like (bought an immaculate 1990 RST from some old bloke who owned from new, on the first night out in it, it blew up costing me mega wedge)
