This is chris, i wish people would just opt for easy approach.
Scrap it! and buy a new one, alot less hastle if not my true opinion is rip out the entire lump, go alittle bigger in size 1.4 so its faster, let me hammer it then sell it on.... lol
As one careful lady owner, never been smashed crashed or bashed  driven and thashed by alcoholic boyfriend at the weekends. |

Option A - getting a second hand cylinder head and swapping it over is cheapest. Option B is slightly more expensive but you get a nice power gain as well from doing it.
Cost for parts and labour for C would be too dear.
And I gather you don't want to scrap it do you? |

Yeah we get the 20p back too. The only thing is the shops miles away and at one time I had 14 bottles waiting to go back to the shop |

I remember when I was a wee girl  visiting my aunties and uncles in Cumbernauld (My dad's side of our family all live up in Glasgow & surrounding) and going round the 'estate' (Is cumbernauld still like a rat run?) looking for money back bottle lids to buy sweeties with.  |
