if you've just had your headgasket done i'd go back to the place that did it and tell them to sort it out cus it sounds like they didnt do it properly!do you know whether they skimmed the head when they did it? | |

Having sold a car with no engine before, I wouldn't advise it. You're FAR better off getting a second hand engine in there and selling it, you'll not only make more money, but it won't sit around for months on end not selling. | |
