few pics of the B below, im sure some people remember it on here.

anyway it may be dead and being split, possible , and they clearly are not bullet proof

the tensioner bolt broke, and the belt slipped round a few teeth as the tensioner was just hanging on, broke all the followers in the camshaft casing.

anyway i bought some followers and had them fitted, but its not good news. the valves are fucked and the casing has now shown a crack in it. so i need another head. but not sure if to bother or not, or just split it

Sorry but i know it's already been said but FPMSL at the irony!

Not worth breaking it! You could drop a new engine in for peanuts.

Get on the phone to a breakers yard mate.

I work at DA Autoparts in South Scotland (www.daautoparts.co.uk - 01387 264813) and we have a few of these engines in at the moment....

MPi heads have round inlet ports and round-ish exhaust ports (SPi heads have square inlet and round-ish exhaust)

Easy swap - stick a new timing belt and gasket on too, then it will be bullet proof

Full Cyl head would be approx £50 tops.

Say you spoke to Stan
