Not quite what the title suggests. I was giving my little van some abuse on the open road the other day...Yep u guessed it 55mph! Lol
The head blew & melted slightly....
Bought a recon head already skimmed etc for ?85-RESULT!
Then went to put back in....Id lost the engine mount rubbers-8 of em! & all washers & engine bolts! Not good. So I gotta get them parts, Also the prop shaft is a bit dodgey so while shes off the road I'll have to do that too!
This self employed lark aint easy!

what do you mean by this? the engine mountings cam apart? the engine blew bolts out?

Or you just lost them when you took head off?

Whoops sorry snowface-sounded worse then it was mate, No Id took the engine out to do the head & misplaced where Id put all those bolts & rubbers! Found a really good place online that specialises in Rascals & Suzukis, The prop will cost ?20 & bolts etc ?10, Not bad.
