Wounder Rab, keep going with it though if youre not sure about the head get it pressure tested £25.00 at Cylinder head express on Drumoyne Road worth it imo even if its fooked.

Im building mine up after gasket failure has cost a wedge tbf.

And your man Pennywise said he can sort you out with a replacement if its cracked F.O.C. result!

DONT get rid/break it yet you need to take it to crail a few times first.

Chin up mate

Mate, there has to be a point. Where you say this is it.

I've spent quite alot on this car. I only spent that because it was a good one. I have 2 weeks of leave left. I can't get her sorted for me to drive this time home. Next time home is 5-6 months away.

When I'll buy a real fucking car....

how long did you run it for??

as if its pissed the entire coolant into the exhaust, it will take a while to burn off!

start it up again, then take it for a fucking good hiding for half an hour, and if its still being a cunt then crash it into a wall!

or not lol
