Only his hairdresser knows for sure. It's an interference engine so the likelihood of damage is pretty high, but at low rpm's - well, maybe he'll be lucky. The only real way to know it to have it looked at by a shop - or by yourself if you're capable. No one can really tell you without looking at it, for sure. -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |

With any luck, you just need to remove the head and replace the valves and valve guides. Without luck, you may have to replace the entire head and a piston and rod or two, and possibly bore the block oversize. Matt |
