the last owner changed the engine on mine at about 75000 due to with the head gasket! this engine is on about the same due to the speedo so last month should have changed it when i had the ports polished!

Do you reckon the port and polish is worth it and if you dont mind me asking did you do it yourself or get it done somewhere?

i did it over the whatchfull eyes of my mechanic friend it was easier than i thought it would
be! you just have to get stuck in and not be afraid my mate said most people mess it up because
they get scared they might take off too much! the only advice i would give is go for it and just
take gental strokes. i noticed a boost in power straight away then about two weeks later
(yesterday) noticed my head gasket has gone so thats what i put the power loss down to that
so thats a job sor satuday! so the moral to this thread is yes 2l's are prone to gasket failures as
this is my second engine and the second head gasket problem!!
