Hi. JUst taking my si for its re-mot and just stopped at a junction. Car turned over way too freely. Result broken cambelt! Rang around a few places and they'll only sell me an engine not a head. Can I just replace the valves or has more damage been usually done?


Dave

someone will prob give you more advice but i would say you prob wont know for sure until its been stripped and inspected as it can cause all sorts of meyhem in there
sometimes you can be lucky and only do a couple of valves so fingers crossed for yer

you can rapair it but usally its a lot of money it would most probly be cheaper to buy a whole engine take the top half off and use that and scrap yours on now

if you do decide to fix it remeber that you will have to change head gastket and maybe get the head skimed what engine is in your fiesta by the way

and how much have they said a whole engine would be

Hi. Its the 8 valve 1.4 si, rubbish btw. I've taken the rocker cover off and I have two very slopey rockers, so I'm hoping its just the 2 valves that have bent. They want 350 for the engine and then I got to get it put in.

just do what i did go to a scrappy her a new head , a hynes namual and do it your self.... i bew all 8 veaves....a week later good as new
