what should i do its only a 1.2 but it now has 6 bent values, how much would it cost to repair roughy? or would it be better getting a bigger engine?

If i did go with getting a bigger what parts would i need to replace. if anyone could give me a list of parts that would really help me as i need the car back on the road asap

would be cheaper to replace the engine i'd have thought.

a 1.4 8v would be about half what the rebuild on the 1.2 would be.
