DISASTER TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right where to start. When i bought the c20let engine it was complete & " rebuilt ". I wanted to settle my curiosity, so i took the engine apart. I noticed one of the head bolt threads had a helicoil which was streatched. So we bought a new helicoil & it wouldnt do in, had to re-tap the thread & buy a time sert kit which cost me £160, £160 to fix one head bolt!!!!!!! anyways we've sorted that out so roll on. Oh no, cleaning the block surface to put the the head gasket on & guess what???? The fucking block is cracked inbetween the water ways!!!! I'm dicked off to say the least. I think its time to give up, i've spent so much money on this & its just fucking my life up.

sorry about the essay
