How big's the hole? | Andy your right mate that is more than I want to pay.....The hole is about the size of a Grapefruit.......Right on the oil feed for the turbo. It just looks as if the block just cracked and give way. | |

Just to keep you updated I've actually got the head off as well now and I've bent four valves as well so it's a change of engine instead...... Anyone got a engine hoist I can borrow? | |
