Re: 1.9DG Head gasket blown, multiple questions
I just got it back from the garage in working order. I swapped the engine with one from Simon Davey which seems good.
It was cheaper than changing the head gaskets even with fitting, new water pump, new clutch and me doing a full service! (£1,100 all in so still painful)
I now have a spare DG engine with a busted head gasket (failed the sniff test) - is anyone interested?

Does this include the 450 for the engine??
If it does, thats not too bad and will be (hopefully) good for years

Yes it does. Even the £80 for next day delivery of the engine!

I have a spare DG Engine with blown head gasket
I have just replaced my DG with a DJ, as the DG failed a sniff test.
Therefore, one of the head gaskets needs sorting.
Is anyone interested in taking the engine on?

Where are you?
Is it early or late DG?
How long has it been out and stored?
cheers

Its a 1983, so last year of the early engine.
