DavidAshton Posted September 24, 2009 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Kaaaty Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 how difficult is it to drop the 1.5 lump in? does it use the same loom? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Pretty much a bolt in job, why don't you just get the head recon'd instead??Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaaaty Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 how much does it cost to get it reconditioned? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted September 25, 2009 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
