Is it me or is it everytime you fix somthing on an XE corsa, somthing else breaks

Finally got my speedo working and fitted a new alternator belt after it spat the old one off at 7500 rpm. Fitted some new cams to boost the torque a little and took the car to be remapped today.

Halfway through the afternoon i get a phone call. Turns out the head may be cracked Hydrocarbons are showing up in the coolant, but there are no signs of headgasket failure at all, but the car was overheating on the rollers while being mapped. So its not even mapped properly, leaving me with a rather pathetic 185 bhp

So the new decision is, goodbye throttle bodies, standard lump to go in, buckets out leather in, and sell up..

sorry for the rant but i need it after today
