Help engine needed
Checked mine over today and it appears to be knackered.
I have water in the oil, and 0 compression on cylinders 1+3, while 2+4 are at 50psi.
I need to find an engine please. Just need a running engine, consisting of heads and block. This way I can use my inlet manifold, injectores, water, oil pump etc.
Anyone got a spare lying around??

Yeah chris that right.
I had a valve fail end of December on way back from Devon........to much boost not enough fuel
was running 23psi on 440`s so was only a matter of time
Didnt think those gaskets were that cheap ???
Are these something people stay away from then??

Apparently they were 5 layer steel gaskets!!!!
But , the car has thrown up a few strange ones!! Appears it has a v1-v2 bottom end, based on tensioners. But v3 heads and ancillaries???
is this possible, will v3 bits fit v2 block??
