ok ,, I have the whole engine stripped down ,, looks like the damage was a broken spring that collapsed the Lifter and caused the valve to gouge the cylinder wall.
I may have found a low mileage clean used engine for a decent price but its out of an 06 I have searched to see if it was compatible with the DME in the car but can not find anything definitive ,, can anyone confirm that the 06 would work ??
Thanks
