DavidAshton Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Ooooops told ya, stick a 1.5 paseo lump in it. If i remeber correctly i think its the valve stem seals that are gone on that car. Quote
Kaaaty Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 you did tell me. but after i bought it lol. it was the nicest looking 1 i could find at the time and this is a minor setback Quote
Kaaaty Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 how difficult is it to drop the 1.5 lump in? does it use the same loom? Quote
Starlet__SR Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Pretty much a bolt in job, why don't you just get the head recon'd instead??Damien Quote
Kaaaty Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 how much does it cost to get it reconditioned? Quote
Starlet__SR Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 You're best bet is to shop about, give you chance to have a new head gasket and timing belt fitted too. I'd do it myself, but unless you're the technical type i'd take it to a specialist.Damien Quote
