Definately worth replacing lots of parts in it then like the tappets, all the gaskets, timing belt, idlers e.t.c... So long as the engine wasn't ragged you'll have a good engine as they are pretty strong :) | |

Mine's costing roughly £500, but I want to get the parts for less. Thats with me doing all the labour too... It's a good idea, because after you have gone and chaged the timing belt fitted the engine and then the tappets need replacing, or the head gasket goes you'll be pissed off cos it's a pain to do things in the Corsa engine bay... Also means time off the road for the car. Think of it as an investment. | |
