well the damn things had it now. noticed some brown oily residue leaking from the side of the head, the bloody head gasket has decided to give it in, its cracked and peeling in one corner - and to top it off 3 of the damn head bolts are stripped - all on the same side gah!

Im juggling up whether its worth installing some time-sert thread inserts into the head - which make the thread twice as strong as the normal thread - for about $100 or just bloody getting a new engine for about $350.

Anyone here own a timesert kit that i could borrow/rent to re tap my engine?
