Zs180 hydrolocked bent conrod

£1500 is a wild price, what was that quote actually to do.

To replace the conrod and piston, it was a rover specialist who I've used on several occasions and never had a problem with so I'll take their word for it.

It's a minefield really it could of damaged the crankshaft and the bore so then your talking even more money on top of that

I'm loathe to see it scrapped though as it's in good shape otherwise hopefully someone else will take it on when it goes on ebay

I'd buy a decent used engine tbh, they are not that expensive these days, I think you'd struggle to find a new piston and rod assy.

£220 for a piston and rod and xpart don't recognize the part numbers.

I think I'll just replace it and take the good bits off it, don't think another car could quite put the smile on my face this one does so on the look out for another 180
