Hi guys,
After a long battle of replacing nearly everything on my K reg surf it turns out the head gasket is gone sadly. As I can't afford to eat anything other than tesco value super noodles at the moment I'm looking for the cheapest possible way to sort this.
My options seem to be skim the head (I don't want to do this due to the labour cost and I don't know what else could be wrong with the engine now)
Replace the engine, hopefully I can find a cheap 2LTE? I have a friend of a friend in a garage that could hopefully just swap them for me.
Or sell my poor surf on. Body work is all fine. Replaced the fuel pump, new timing belt and water pump and fuel lines in the engine if it's being broken.
Any thoughts and help would be awesome!
