If the work's done right and the head was skimmed flat, then I don't see why it wouldn't go on for a fair few miles yet

Doubt it'll come to it, but you can get another lump from a breakers, it'd be worth keeping an eye on eBay and of course, on here

with a skim and new gasket + bolts, there shouldnt be any difference! With the head off, may as well get the timing belt changed too

My uno was driven for 2 years with a blown head and no oil pressure. Got it, fixed it, and it ran lovely - 250miles per week for 2 years!

Tis an 899 - no timing belts here!

Then you're laughing. Should be right as reign after a change. If anything more perky as the head skim will raise compression a little

If done right, it should be spot on.
You got any friends who could do the work for you and save a few quid?

I have been to see it today, and he says its because on the block there has been a little corrosion so it is a case of wether they can get it out???

Is there anything else i should look for when i get it back??

Boasting or complaining? Now I seem to recall, having driven through bits of it last week, that Yorkshire is abloody big place. However, if you are near south York, there is a specialist Fiat breakers on the A1079 towards Hull. Its in a little village just a few miles south of the A64.

Can't remember the name of the village but they had plenty Cinq 899 engines when I was there last week.

I don't think so, I know Simpsons, this is just a little place, like a roadside house with four or five garages and a garden full of broken Fiats.

But she aint near york she lives near me :woot:

How would I know that, there is nothing to say so in her profile, and I did say that Yorkshire is a bit on the huge size.

Definition of a Yorkshire man, Scotsman with the generosity removed.

come on D mate... she already been here 3 weeks.

that means apple has had enough time to pester her with PM's and got her home address, fone number, shoe size, and what her next door neighbour has for breakfast

Minxy: as has been said, it should be fine after a new gasket in.

as fixit said as well, it will save you a few hundred quid if u know someone handy with engines that can strip the head, get it skimmed, then replace the head gasket....
