My BRG 1.8T About To Depart Methinks
Having run this one for about three years, love the colour, I had to have a go at the head gasket in March. Clearly no professional, it has gone again and at the suggestion of a mechanic member, I have opted for an elastomar gasket this time.
Saw the weather forecast and took the opportunity to have a go at it from Sunday afternoon. Finally got the head off lunchtime today and found that there are sufficient marks around the liner seating to suggest that this may be the end.
I think a skim would have take too much off.
Yes I could get another engine, but as I don't have the facilities to change it, I have put the new gasket in and almost finished the rebuild but now torn as to run it 'til dead, or flog it.
