depends on how you stroke it if it comes......
Samuel;
think water jacket plugs(welsh) to get to the back one (between the gearbox and the engine you have to remove either the motor or the box
to do all the other plugs in the motor ...
i would be removing the engine and do it on the floor so every thing will be exposed and easier to get at.
compression test WHY have you got another fault as well????
we can rebuild the complete motor if you like.hehehehehe

hahhahahahaa
been waiting to say this mate
this is what happens when you buy cheap un looked after cars.

i dont know judging by last years dyno day at the gold coast atleast the motor pulled quite hard for what it and has had done to it :-) but its 16yr old car so cant expect that much. Any car that old is bound to have problems arising.


Anyways getting a car cover for it so it doesnt collect anymore dust while sitting in the garage.

final the car is fixed, it got finally towed away bit over week ago and today she is running.

Had the back of the head welsh plugs replaced, pcv valve replaced, radiator flushed and top tank was leaking, rear main seal replaced and some seal on the transmission all for $800 :-)

Now just gotta get a inflating tyre fixed :-(
