Knocking there balls off but never like that??

No slightly in there mate.

Thats full on.........................................

Had a few overheating issues. tried thermostat, bleeding coolant etc. This. ^^ The most likely scenario is that you have a separate fault that has caused the car to overheat which in turn has caused the headgasket failure. Be sure to pressure test the coolant system again once the headgasket issue ...

As said, more likley to be cracked block.

Not heard of a Rev 3+ headgasket going before????????

No sure about fitment, nut the part no`s are differnent for N/A and turbo.

Breaking a Rev 2 turbo so if you want some let me know.

Check to see if the arm/flap in the AFM is siezed.

Swappable though?

Am breaking a Rev 2 so if you post up pics of the bits off yours I can have a look and let you know if they look differnet.

Wouldnt have thought they would be different though.

Easier than taking the engine out.

You dont need to drop the engine out to put a timing belt on.

Put the belt on and then turn it over by hand, if all is o.k start it up and do a compression check.

Bargain that mate.

I`ve got Rev 2 turbo t-bar in bits here so if need any glass or anything else for that matter let me know.

Lewis.

Non-interference, put a bel5t on it and see if alls o.k.

Agree with Bob, it does sound like a 165 head.

Had a number of Rev 1s apart and never seen a spring tensioner before all were hydraulic

Cant have been proper Rev 1`s then...................

ST 165, 185 MR2 Rev 1 and 2 are all the same engines. Its the ST205 and MR2 Rev 3 that changes heads Sounds to me like you have the wrong head. Sorry Bo would have to disagree with you on that one, The Rev 1 head (definatly and I think) the ST165 has a spring tensioner not hydraulic so no bolt hole...

Thanks mate,

Not sure you can put this in here, I`m not officially a trader anymore.

Yes you can it with the engine still in.

Head off, sump off, pop em out the top.
