Does anyone know if I could just get away with a different vr head or am I going to have a complete engine in? Depends if the valves have hit the pistons. Even if they have, you might just need new valves. How come it jumped a couple of teeth? Tensioner knackered? I'd pull the head off and keep your fingers crossed. Might even get away with correction the timing and trying to start her? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
