Once the lump is out not too bad. Belts are easy too. We found a local guy who is going to fit a new set of shells, piston rings, build engine back up and sling her in for us at very reasonable rates.The lad, poor sod spent £1,700 on garage bills for mot and investigative work. Even passed a block gas test mind? Well in that price are all the new head gaskets and seals etc which are not cheap. We also had new belt kit fitted and water pump and thermostat. We bought a donor closed deck motor too which turned out to have scoring in one of the bores so that cost us dearly. I'm just so pleased that the old man still got it, and found the root cause. I'll put pics up later.
No the Gte is little used tbh. Seems that each time I use it I have to put petrol in it Mmmmmmm! Sound familiar.
