hi there

you could be looking at up to £1k for bits.
but.... first check everything else. a breaking up cat can sound terrible. ask tintin!

hi there
same thing happened to tintin, but it was the cat & sparkplugs (which can go off over night!!).
check it all very carefully before doing anything.
wish i was closer to you.

when i turned engine off there was a puffing noise coming from the top of the engine on the r/h side listened to it for about 10 seconds and slammed the bonnet down. smell of burning oil as well.

Or you could take a wee gamble, shell out a couple of hundred for a second hand engine and swap them over, I think that would be my solution

There's a big write up on the site about how to fix it - it's a long weekend job - more a pain due to the amount of stuff to remove and the care required putting it back together. You will have bent a couple of valves so head must come off too.
The guides are the weak point and will all need replacing. Budget about 700 quid for parts and make sure you get every gasket - hint, replace the chain tensioner gaskets, I didn't and ended up having to take the engine apart a second time to replace it - that was a real PITA.
