hi everybody,
i've got myself a 1.6 8v vitara from ebay. it was misfiring and sounded horrible so when igot it home i whipped off the head to discover the head gasket had a huge section missing between cylinders 2 and 3. (not the greatest of starts!!) I've replaced the gasket and all is well with the world.
I've got a small patch of welding to do before its MOT and then i'm looking forward to getting it out and about.
Cheers
Scotty

to the club.
You THINK you have a small patch of welding to do.
I hope it is only small.
