and a 1.3 head on its own here:

I'd just rip the head of it,

The Haynes manual will help, then get a helicoil fitted, my e16 done the same and I had it coiled by a machine shop and the head tested and skimmed all for less than £100,

It's a good way of learning how to fix the oily bits

tbh i dont have enough hours in a day as it is with working full time and having 2 horses and a 26 year old bloke i have to wait on hand and foot as hes usless and cant cook, and apparently cant clean unless i nag so more than happy to pay for new part or for it to be fixed lol!
