what ever you try to do to it, it just turns out to be the biggest nightmare ever

Lee puts new engine in after old one broke

runs fucked
change timing
HT leads
Dis pack
sparks plugs
injector loom
injectors
upper inlet manifold gasket
lower inlet manifold gasket

and its still right

thinking head could be cracked now

(cheers to lee for his help, as its not his fault : )
