I am dismayed by the responses of some on here, but as Hedd says it is all down to what floats your boat. Personally I like to use my cars as much as possible and my Nippy is my daily runner, however I spend a huge amount of my time helping club members get, and keep their car's running, and in all honesty a lot of that time is spent fixing ill advised actions and bodges. The engine in my pictures was back together and running happily within a week and is still going strong, personally I am relieved the owner followed my advice and we took the head and sump off revealing the horror within, had we not done so I doubt it would be quite so healthy now and would have undoubtably cost more in the long run. It take's very little effort to remove the head and sump, both can be done in the car, if all is well then you will have spent a couple of hours and a couple of gaskets, if things are not well you will save yourself a whole world of pain.
