By experiance mate, you get what you pay for

Get your wallet out and get a reputable engine builder to sort it im afraid.

Zetec Andy

if you got the car on the cheap then spend the money saved on a good rebuild, you could even tweak the engine it along the way

scuddSi

Be aware that people often scrap these when one of the head gaskets go...

The water pump impellor is made of plastic, breaks down over time and causes overheating which in turn does the headgaskets.

Ask for Peter (Rusty)
He's the owner of a nippy Capri once seen in a Clarkson Vid

I can vouch for that, i was once behind rusty on the way to a cruise

we joined the motorway and he floored it on the slip road, by the time id got to the end of the slip road he was a dot in the distance
