Bad luck on the GF front. Know how you feel. Its 'orrible.
Back to the car. Do the engine swap to get you back on the road, then assess the cam in the damaged engine by doing a run out check on it. I very much doubt it is bent, but if it is bent, it will not rotate once its fitted to the decent head.

try a relationship forum tbh.

@ Sharpie - You Scotsmen, you're all heart, aren't you?
My advice is give up watching football - it's clearly diverting you from real issues, such as looking after your car, or your woman.
Once you've kicked that nasty little habit you'll have a much better life - not only will you be able to get to meet up with women as your car won't break down, but you'll have Saturdays free to spend taking care of any new girl, or working on your car, which will mark you out as a real man and make you far more interesting to the right sort of women.
You know it makes sense.
It's not just mechanical problems I'm here to help with. :smug:

Sorry to hear about the Golf :sad: and your GF, hope it wasn't a nasty split.

On the bright side if you didn't get to the match you missed Palace lose with two mins to go.

lol yeah im glad i didnt make it to hull. na wernt that much of a nasty split :wink: anyway bk to the car is there a possibility that if i swap the engines over and then put the cam in it would be alrite the engine i would swap over is a bit tapperty thou until warm up....... and could someone tell me the code for the lil white clips that holds on the side trim managed to knock it off the car while pushing it behind the other one. then snapped a couple trying to put it bk on while angry. swapping over the engine im gussing that the only real cost would be labour in a garage ? or would they need new things? i would of attempted it myself but im moving in with my bruv and there isnt really any were to store it.
